A Fateful Meeting Remembered
“Whatever we do, if we really love it, don’t let the broker see how much!”
Hmmm, not so sure how well we actually contained our excitement six years ago today when we went to see OLOH for the very first time, before she was OLOH. After having just walked away from another boat, days before we were about to close (that’s a whole ‘nother story), we were admittedly feeling a bit sorry for ourselves. But after diving right back into the listings, we spied the boat that would be OLOH. Smaller than what we were originally looking for, lacking a few things the other boat had, but very intriguing and seemingly in beautiful condition – and about three hours away from us.
The afternoon before that first in-person viewing, we showed the listing to dear friends of ours and voiced our skepticism. They said, “tomorrow is going to be a beautiful day – get in the car and go see it! What have you got to lose?” Thank you Pam and Bruce.
After connecting with the broker who assured us, “you will not be disappointed” (yeah, right Mr. Broker), we made it a date and boogied to Connecticut where she was tucked away after a winter’s slumber in heated indoor storage (that was a good sign). And while there are myriad details and sorted sagas about the protracted summer-long purchase process, you know how the story ended. Hard to believe it has been six years since that fateful meeting.

We are so appreciative of the amazing experiences OLOH has afforded us. We take our custodianship seriously, hence the comprehensive yard period we are winding down, addressing maintenance items and upgrades as we prepare for the Adventures Of OLOH to continue very, very soon.
And we thank you for being a part of our journey. Stay tuned…
