We are a little nervous about some of the shallow spots we used to zip over, because we know we only had inches of clearance. We will have to stay in slightly deeper water now, but that only matters in a very few places.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7025068942489566045.post-32667438157178825002008-11-18T21:44:00.000-05:002008-11-18T21:44:00.000-05:00Wow!I skip looking at the blog for a few days beca...Wow!<BR/>I skip looking at the blog for a few days because posts had slowed down and all of a sudden you are posting practically every day. <BR/><BR/>Fine looking new boat.

They have some kind of center pod propulsion system, and it moves right along.<BR/><BR/>I spoke with the owners about a year or so ago. They were puzzling over some damage to one of the rudders.

This is a Turissimo, designed by (the late) Kiwi designer Malcolm Tennant and would have been built in New Zealand. How the heck did it get all the way to your neck of the woods?
