Oops did we just buy a boat?

We walked away from our boat viewing hungry and happy that six months later we still had the same opinions on what we liked and thought we wanted. Over our 3.5hr drive back to Duck Key we talked about our likes and dislikes from the day and agreed it was not the best time for us to be considering a boat. We really should wait at least until Max's senior year or maybe even the year after. I should probably mention here that we have never sailed on a catamaran other than a sunset sail/snorkeling trip 25yrs ago during our honeymoon in Maui. But with that said its never stopped us before. We had never really done a trip on a trawler or a big or small monohaul before buying those so what the heck why not just try something new? Generally we are pretty good about loving the one we are with vs having problems with the grass looking greener in other pastures which is a long way of saying we have not regretted any of our boat purchases so far.

Like a good saleswoman would do our broker followed up with us a few days after we got home. We politely tried to put her off saying we were still thinking about things and then she followed up again a few days after that. Well that seemed to be enough to talk us in to thinking maybe we should make a lowball offer on the Xquiste X5 just so we could say we tried. Note this was also the same time the stock market was tanking due to Trumps newest tariff plans. Well long story short the buyers accepted our offer. 

Great now what do we do? Where are we going to put this thing. Do we leave it on the coast, do we bring it around to the Great Lakes. Can I even find a marina on Lake Erie to pull it and store it over the winter. If we do leave it on the coast where and how much are we actually going to be able to get to it to use it. What are we going to do with the Tug? Are we dumb.. Well of course we are dumb is the answer to that we keep buying boats which are about the slowest and most costly way of seeing the world. Not to mention the constant work/money they require.

Well as of right now I'm feeling pretty committed to this next adventure. Lets see how the survey turns out and oh yea I've got almost three weeks to figure rest of the stuff out...
