Purchased a sailboat

After looking at quite a few sailboats we have finally settled on the one that we want to buy.  We ended up getting a Cal 29 with 2 quarter berths on either side.  It has already been being used as a live aboard and has had a few upgrades/changes already completed to have it work out nicely for us.  One of the big changes is that the inboard diesel engine  has been taken out and a gas outboard put on.  Where the engine used to be has been transformed into extra storage space.  There is also a heating system and a real fridge in the boat as well which were two things we have been concerned about.  And it is all ours.

Now we just need to get it were we need it to be.  Moving it via the water will take sailing experience grater then what we have available.  We have been toying with the idea of hiring a captain and having them sail it and teaching us as we go, but it seems like their availability and our availability are not going to line up. So we will probably put it on a trailer and move it over the land to it's new home.
