I especially want to thank Bill and Judy for
helping Lori and I become Amel owners.    We were well on
our way to buying an Amel when much to our surprise and
delight we learned of the opportunity to buy sv BeBe.
 
Lori and I first came
across Bill and Judy's blog several years ago when we
started getting serious about our exit strategy from the
full time workforce and family raising.   Bill and I had a
great conversation about the boats shortly after that and
then about a year ago I joined the Amel owners group to
begin to get a better knowledge of the boats and the
community that owns and cares for them.   And we also spent
a very educational day with Joel Potter this spring (whom we
had also met 20 years ago when we made a first attempt at
cutting the lines).  All that came quickly to a head when
we heard that Bill and Judy were thinking about swallowing
the anchor. 
We had
four intense days aboard BeBe in Trinidad where we agreed on
the purchase and we are looking forward to two weeks of
on-boarding with Bill and Judy when we close on the boat in
January down in the USVI.  We will then be looking forward
to meeting more of you as we are out and about and will
begin to interact more through this forum as we undoubtedly
run into questions.  
Best Regards  Dan & Lori
Carlson Soon to be owners SM #387
