| On the job, Friday morning 04.07.14 , finishing a deadline to have time for Drifter 25 over the weekend. Picture sent to the wife via FB to get details I needed for editing |

| Friday, late night, still in the castle. Excited for Saturday's turn-over of Drifter 25! |

Initial impressions I shared on my personal Facebook account, after my first moments as owner of Drifter 25:
Sat July 5th. Today, rain made N and I take shelter in the boat while he handed it over to me.
I felt a trespasser on someone else's boat until I started cleaning and inch by inch became it's owner and Hoorn showed a smile when the sun came out from behind the clouds.
We will take good care of her, M (better half of former owner).

| Blue water is calling. Clouds and a lot of wind, didn't scare the sun today. |
