Again all good advice. Spare I pmed GarageNC a while back while we were shopping and actually saw a post of his on a facebook page for trawlers that my wife is on, I'll try contacting him again. Survey came back as expected and a few minor items being corrected before the closing and documentation paperwork. I'd like for it to all go through this week to give me time to make the trip before the new moon. Really thinking I'm gonna run her myself with the wifey. Watching the depth, tides, weather and surroundings, stopping when we feel like we should. Like most things in life I feel like after having run her some and gotten a feel for the handling things will be a lot less daunting. Still open to any advice, words of caution, etc.
