beautiful boat.
As a child and young adolescent I spent a lot of time of family boats, mostly cabin cruisers and day sailors, although there was one 38 foot sail boat in the family that I spent some time enjoying.
Looking back over my life, I am shocked that I didn’t incorporate boats into my adult life, living the coastal life here. I guess I thought that was an ended chapter. Sorry that boats were not more, for who can sail, and not smile?
Considered retiring to a boat, ala the Frugal Retiree. But at forty perhaps, now? Impossible.
You have wisely avoided expense and worry. Crew on the sailboats of others to satisfy the craving.
I grew up on a lake in northern Michigan and one of my close friend's family had a sailboat which he used to race.
