We had the idea to buy a boat in the USA but possibly a bit later - especially after we sold our current boat in Australia. We went to the Fort Lauderdale Boat show in October 2007 and saw only power boats. We did see an Oyster 55 in Miami and put in an offer - exceptionally low one I might add - and of course was not accepted.
We then went to Los Angeles where we saw a Beneteau 523 that was not for sale BUT there was one for sale in Mexico at Ensenada. This boat was 2006 build and had only 65 hrs on the engine - can you imagine that - turned out to be subject to a divorce and must sell.
We put in an offer and off we went to Mexico to see the boat.
Boats in general are cheaper in the USA than Australia and especially attractive now that the US dollar is so much lower against the Australian dollar.
So here we are getting ready to sail and have an adventure along the way.
