It is with deep sorrow to retire this blog as we have sold Red October, and she was a real trooper in keeping us comfortable and out of harm's way with high winds and storms in the last two years.
Because we were moving to Anchorage, Alaska, we had to put her on the market. After two months, we received an offer a week prior to leaving CT. In our absence, the survey was a success with the help of our good friends at the marina who assisted with taking the boat to the lift and answering questions for the surveyor and buyer.
The closing on RO went smooth and was finalized within two days before Superstorm Sandy arrived to the NY/CT area. It is my belief that the timing of the entire process couldn't have been so close, which validates its fate to our plan of moving from CT to AK. We hope the new owners will be happy with Red October as much as we have enjoyed her. She will be missed greatly and the good memories will stay with us forever. Goodbye Red October...may the ruler of the sea and ocean keep her vessel worthy and grant safe passage throughout the rest of her journeys.
