I took the plunge

Well I took the plunge and purchased a Bristol 32 in Cape May, NJ and just todat finished sailing her to Boothbay Harbor, Maine.
Somehow I feel like I cheated however, the boat was all set to go when I bought her. All I did was load my gear and take off. The boat performed flawlessly and I had a long but pleasant trip. Since I was by myself I anchored every night and twice ended up staying put for more than one night because of weather.
There are definately improvements I want to make, but since the season is short in Maine, I think I will sail her now and make them when the weather turns nasty later in the fall.
I will post some photos later.
