Well, we went at looked at the I Bristol posted a little earlier. The rust is falling of the tanks in huge scales. I was afraid diesel would come flowing out any minute. The boat was filthy and neglected - looking NOTHING like the photos in the ad. The broker didn't even bother to show up leaving us to an old crusty salt that is apparently living on the boat. He made a sandwich while we waited as we watched his dog chew on one to the settee cushions.
Once allowed to look around we saw all the decks were teak, bad teak. That alone would have made me run in horror. Then I went into the bildge. The dank, smell of rot and diesel fuel was overpowering. I still can't get the stench of that bildge out of my nose. We couldn't get off her fast enough.
Worst we have seen so far. I felt so sorry for the old girl. Really getting discouraged. Oh Lord give me hope and teach me patience!!!!
