We talked at length this past week and the thought of trying to do this long distance again, especially this time of year, is not very appealing. We we purchased the Islander it was a 100 mile commute each way to try and get things in order. We ended up with a half assed boat that did make it back to Erie, although just barely. Freedom First is at least a 3 hour drive each way.
We have decided to hold off until Spring and see if anything shakes loose locally.
