Gary....
Talk about a Swan Song to sailing....that was EPIC!
I know I am not the only one here that has been hassling you about sailing alone....but if it took this trip to convince you...and you made it home a little scarred, but alive, then it was worth the gamble. While I never got to sail with you, I remember fondly sitting in the salon of your boat sipping on the the honey bourbon when you cruised into town. I am also glad that I could help you find a marina that could provide the repairs you needed at the time. While it delayed your trip, it was nice having you here for a couple of days.
Knowing (and seeing) the care and improvements you have made to Saturday''s Child assures me that whoever buys your boat is getting a top-notch vessel. I sincerely hope you come across someone soon who appreciates what a fine boat it is and will want it for their own.
