Got a new boat!
April 9th, 2008 Posted in sailing, viper 640You may know that we sold our Capri 22 keelboat last year, and had been looking for a new race boat. I settled on a Viper 640 sportboat as the ideal blend of speed, simplicity, and family-friendliness (in lighter air). After months of searching for a used Viper, I finally struck a deal with an owner in Phoenix, Arizona, and a friend and I headed west to pick up the boat.
It turned into quite the epic roadtrip. The seller had agreed to meet us in El Paso, TX (about halfway between Austin and Phoenix) to deliver the boat, but he was running late, so we ended up going all the way to Las Cruces, New Mexico to meet him. All in all, we drove around 1300 miles in 20 hours. Here are some pictures from our adventure:
