![]() ![]() Then this weekend in the midst of 24/7 Hurricane Irma zombie eyed addiction, I got a text that said it was from Mike. And you know most of the rest, we have been actively (well sometimes actively) refitting her, creating blog articles detailing the work and youtube videos on the type of work we are doing and how we are going about it. Armed with knowledge, we made an offer for DreamChaser that was accepted. He was so helpful, sharing details of what we should watch out for and some of the work he had to do on his. When Deb found DreamChaser, I reached back out to Mike (The owner of Wanderer) for some advice, guidance and gotcha’s to look out for. You could tell someone was doing work on her and making slow progress as a large project like requires. We then saw it in a local yard, then at a Marina. Our skills and confidence in boat work increased and we kept an eye out for Wanderer or others like her. Here is a link to the pictures we took when on the boat checking it out and preparing an offer.įast forward a while, we end up buying the Gulfstar and doing a refit. To show how serious we were, I recalled having posted pictures on Facebook back then so sure enough, I found the photo album dated September 27, 2009. They didn’t and as Garth Brooks says in his song, “Thank God for unanswered prayers.” Not because she isn’t a great boat with a super history, but because it was beyond my skill set at that time in 2009. So we pitched out a low offer thinking if they accepted it, we would figure something out. Deb and I have always loved Bill Garden designed boats but we werenowhere close to having the money for the asking price. It was for sale in the Kemah Boardwalk Marina and we were smitten, to say the least. Years ago, Deb and put an offer in on the Wanderer. They stopped by and we got to spend time with them which was wonderful !! It also happens to be one of the boats used in the Captain Ron movie. we got to meet with Mike and Nicole of the “Wanderer” which is the sister ship to DreamChaser. A great distraction to remove ourselves from being glued to the weather channel the last week was meeting Mike and Nicole. ![]()
