This picture is in the Saloon of Joel Potter's Amel 54 in Ft. Lauderdale on June 22, 2006. It was taken as we signed on the dotted line for something that we would not see for over two years. The stunned look you see in both of our faces was a combination of excitement and shock at what we just committed to.
After we enjoyed a champagne celebration Joel told us to forget about the boat for the next year and a half. After all we would not see the finished boat for over two years!
