Thanks for the confirmation. Although we may still look at this boat next month, we have learned that it has an expired TIP, which presents another challenge should we be interested in pursuing it. There may be a way to resolve this, but the official word is that the TIP must be cancelled and the boat leave Mexico before re-entering to apply for a new TIP. Needless to say, we're not crazy enough to take a lengthy voyage on a new vessel which has sat unused for several years! There may be unofficial solutions to the problem, but for now we're broadening the search to the entire west coast from BC to Mexico. On the C&C front, I believe only the LF39 and LF43 meet our needs.
