		<description><![CDATA[Buddy's "inspection" of the Ruppmans yacht was short lived, in part because the yacht is just a few years old, and also because the Ruppmans have done an excellent job at maintaining its original state. Other than a minor freezer mend that Charles Ruppman had already repaired, the boat looked and ran like it was still brand new. Trust me, Buddy is a tell-it-like-it-is kind of guy, and if he found any problems, the Ruppmans would have definitely heard about it.

I thought to myself, my grandfather would have really loved this boat. The Freedom has a special connection to my grandfather and me because it is home to the very last steering wheel that he handcrafted—a little known fact the Ruppmans were surprised to hear.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With thousands of journeys behind us, the one that begins today takes us on a special voyage to re-establish the Huckins legacy, by visiting each and every Huckins yacht that is still afloat.

After a six-hour drive, my husband Buddy and I arrived at the Pelican Isle Yacht Club, Bonita Springs, FL, nestled in a quiet inlet on the Gulf of Mexico. We walked down the docks to meet with Charles and Lena Ruppman aboard their 2009 Huckins, Freedom, Hull #457. I was hoping Buddy would keep his candid remarks to a minimum—after all, this was just our first visit.]]></description>
