Finding our first boat, Querencia Junior....Summer 2006

Haven gotten the sailing bug bad, we set out to look for a suitable starter boat.

What we had a few prerequesites:
25'-30' boat, to handle a decent sea state
In board diesel engine (Jorgen)
Wheel steering (Maria) - as opposed to tiller
Galley, with stove
Head & Shower
Drink 6, Eat 4, sleep 2.
Furling head sail.
Comfortable sleeping quarters

We looked at quite a few boats and finally found a Hunter 30 1992 that looked very clean.

She was docked in Willoughby Harbor Marina in Norfolk and named "Sanity 2"

We made an offer and couple of weeks later, after survey and sea trial she was ours.
