We Flew Home Not Knowing If We'd Bought a Boat (Ep. 189)

After an incredible trip to Tasmania, it is finally time to head home. But this trip home came with a lot more uncertainty than usual. Before leaving Tasmania, we made an offer on the Fishing Vessel, Iron Maiden, a 65ft steel aft wheelhouse vessel that has quickly become one of the most talked-about boats in our search for our next adventure vessel. It's been three days and we have not heard back from the broker. As we travel back across Australia, we had no idea whether our offer would be accepted, rejected, or countered. All we can do was wait. Join us as Sam heads back to work, Charlie and I return home to our sailboat in Gladstone, and we finally hear back from the broker about Iron Maiden. Will this be the end of our boat search... or just another chapter? Thanks for following our family's journey as we search for the right vessel for our next big adventure. --------------------------------- 🎉 BEACOME PART OF THE J-CREW COMMUNITY - SUPPORT US ON PATREON Your support keeps this channel going, helps us upgrade gear, and brings you better content each week.
