Delivering Osprey


You mean to tell me that people actually get paid to drive other people's boats for them?  Yep, apparently so.  I got hired to deliver a 1988 Island Packet 31 from Oriental, NC to Daytona Beach, FL.  The weather was cold, and the boat had no life raft, dinghy or EPIRB, so the whole trip would be made in the ICW.  Chili and I drove up to Oriental, and then brought Osprey down to Florida over the course of about two weeks.  We had a great time, and I'm very grateful to the new owners of Osprey (Jason and Aimee) for hiring me to bring their new boat home to them.  Thanks, guys!  She's a great boat, and I'm sure you will have a blast with her.
