Well, finally my feet are back on the ground and I can settle down and relax a bit. After arriving on Monday in Baltimore we got into the hotel (had to wait till a room was available as we arrived long before the official check in time). After settling in (Subway for lunch) we got a taxi down to the boat yard 
Spent some time with Jeff of the yard where we have had some minor issues attended to (as found on the survey) and then went and introduced ourselves to our new Lady, Amanzi. It was a cold, grey and miserable day but there she was – floating proud and awaiting our first steps aboard. And, step aboard we did and smiled, and smiled, and smiled. Mary seemed a bit intimidated by her size – seemed huge in comparison to Sanctuary! We spent the next few hours just absorbing the atmosphere and poking around in lockers and engine room and looking at the anchoring system and many other little things.
I didn’t get to starting the motors as I was a bit unsettled by all the switches and dials and also, for the first time, I am being exposed to AC power (shore and generator) and thought it prudent to keep my fingers off the starter buttons until I had had some instruction
We eventually dragged ourselves away just after six and eventually got a taxi – the yard is a bit isolated (being a working yard) and off the main route – and made our way back to the hotel.
And that has been the last time we saw Amanzi 
No, nothing has happened!! But simply we’ve been so busy with our courses for the last 2 days that we just haven’t had the time to get back to her.
Tomorrow, however, after the boat show we will be meeting our engineer for the afternoon and then the previous owners in the evening
More later!!
