I bought a boat!

So a couple of weeks ago I saw this boat listed on eBay. The starting bid was only $700, and there was no reserve. Just for grins I clicked "watch this item" and started checking it daily. For a week there were no bids. I told Angela, "If no one else bids on that boat, I'm going to buy it."

By the last day I was getting pretty excited. The auction ended just before 10:00 PM on a Sunday, and around noon someone posted the first bid. I watched it inch up in the last hour. With a minute left, I put in a bid and it was immediately increased. I guessed that the other bidder had put in a maximum of $1,000, and although it was more than I had planned to spend, I had auction fever -- I entered a bid of $1,010. I hit enter when there was only four seconds left on the auction. I said to Angela, "Oh shit, I just bought a boat!" The final amount was $1,007.

So, here she is, my most recent eBay purchase and the newest member of my family. These photos are from the auction listing, I haven't actually seen her yet.
