New Owner says hello ... am I doing this right???

[Esmi2]

I am the brand new and proud owner of a 2006 Cape Cruiser 23.

As a rank amateur, I question whether I am doing this right, as shown in the photo below. Apparently, first you buy a boat; then you put the boat on a trailer; then you put the trailer on a ferry over water. Somehow, I thought boating was going to be funner than this!

Kidding aside, I am glad to be here, and I wouldn't have made it to C-Dory(ish) ownership without this site coaching. Can't wait to splash my boat! But first another day or so of highway time to get it home!

I've been looking for my "just right" boat for several years, and then this one came up on the C-Brats site and the stars aligned for a purchase.

Both known former owners were C-Brats, and I believe this craft has spent most of its time in the San Juan Islands. It's new duty will be on a trailer in my yard in San Luis Obispo, CA, and western rivers and lakes as we get going. More details to come.

Nope, that’s exactly how it’s done. I’ll be ferrying my new to me boat in July.

Did you have to rub it in that you are from SLO, CA? Gosh.....What a beautiful area. Congrats on the new boat.
Our family will float ours for the first time soon, so I know the feeling.
Congrats to Clay as well.
