A journey towards No Man’s Land.
PART TWO – She is all mine.
|
|
The negotiation was simple. There was a listed price. I placed a counter offer. So did he. We agreed. We signed. And in 48 hours, what do you know, I had a boat, a plethora of sails and a very professional looking folder of Sydney 38, One Class Design tweaking instructions. But did I say, I had a boat and she was all mine. And while there was a wonderful moment of reflection, there were also a couple of crazy realities. A 38 foot boat and a looming regatta isn’t a thing until she’s filled by a Crew. And for me, this adventure revolved around the concept of sharing the journey - the ups and the downs - with others.
