Miami Boat Show
Jill and I went to the Miami Boat Show and had a wonderful time! Now only did we love Miami, but we were reacquainted with Excess 14 Hull #1, which is the boat we did our test sail on in Cannes in September last year.
That's Jill and me in front of Hull #1.
Here's a shot with nobody in the way:
Most importantly, we met with folks from Excess (great seeing you Thibaut, Hervé, Antoine, and Marco) and found out that our boat will be out of the factory on April 28! That's two weeks later than we thought, but we are fine with that. The boat will be launched in La Rochelle, and commissioned by Gulf Stream. They are also adding some after-market items--solar, lithium batteries, AC, watermaker. Stéphane at Gulf Stream has been wonderful to work with so far, and we can't wait to see what he and his team do.
