Boat Is HERE!

So at 10:15 on 10/25, my brand new Storm GT arrived in Cville. After clearing out much of our already gear filled apartment, my roommate Brett and I were able to bring that beauty into our place.

I spent about an hour and a half ooing and aaing over it. The Storm is 17' long and clocks in at 63lbs. It has two hatches and a rudder and man is it a sleek looking machine. A special thanks goes out to Mike Cichanowski and Jake Greseth at Current Designs for all their help and generousity.

I am planning on getting some photos up this afternoon. Hopefully I will be able to be head out on the water here after surgery is finished with. Right now the pre 5 am starts are making it difficult to get out on the water.

I am also going to need help with ideas for naming my boat. She is in need of a name befitting a sleek, sexy craft that will take me the distance. Please post your thoughts!

Boat Arrival Dates

Excellent News! I just got word from Current Designs that my Storm GT should be headed down to the Charlottesville area around October 20th. Of course, I will be in my surgery rotation on Blue Service then so all my time will be devoted to studying, but none the less the boat will be here. It is hard to tell what I am more excited about, finally being on surgery or getting the new boat. Wwaahoooo! I am also talking with NRS right now about a gear sponsorship which would be really exciting. Stay tuned for more updates.
