Quartermoon Sold

After a week or so of stress and trouble with our first buyer we finally accepted a deposit on her...Very Sad but very exciting at the same time.

Basically the guy who said he wanted her from the start...asked if we would deliver it to costa rica for him. After organising all the paperwork, paying over a thousand dollars and getting her booked in the cheeky git...EMAILS...not phones and says to to finacial reasons he has to pull out...and check this out..this was on the morning we were due to to leave for the canal and we even had all the tyres on the boat and the lines ready... to top it off Debs and Alex had flown in the night before to help us be line handlers..

We were soo gutted, but at least we had a deposit kept by the brokerage and emails stating that any monies we paid for the canal were to be given to us in the unlikely event that he pulled out. WELL WHAT A LAUGH THAT IS...its now the new year and after months of dispute and us scanning the offical receipts of monies paid he has basically said no...what a twat??? the brokerage cannot realease the money to anyone unless this dispute is resolved.... his argument is we could of forged the receipt...even though it has the agent offical stamps all over it..Anyway enough of that...

The happy side is that a lovely British couple flew over to Panama staight away once they found she was back on the market , put a depoit down on her and arranged to pick her up from Shelter Bay Marina on the 19th November!!!

Quartermoon with her new owners Sammy and Mike ... they plan to take Quartermoon to Australia this year, so im sure they'll have a blog to follow, when i get it , ill post it on her...Me and sym were so chuffed and we could not of wished for her to go to a nicer couple. Congrats guys.
