Nice story, but the part about the first and last day is total bs. I was terribly
sad when I sold my windrider even if it wasn't enough boat for where I sail.
"Makani" wrote in message news There is, of course, the well worn expression (recounted to me perhaps a thousand times in the past few months) that the best two days of a boat owners life are the day he buys his boat and the day he sells it. I don't know about the second part, but I do know about the first and once again conventional wisdom is, at least in my case, rubbish. I have done some 'out there' things in my life, but I can pretty much say that the first day of boat ownership for me was not the best day of my life: it was the scariest.
