We bought our first boat on the way home from the funeral of our best
man.
More than tweny years ago. The funeral was on the far end of Long Island
(his
ashes were scattered in Three Mile Harbor) and the yard was on the way
back to
Manhattan.
A funeral is always a reality check, especially when the deceased is
someone close and young. I think a lot of boats have been bought after
funerals.
Yes. Mine was doubly so.
mine is close and now i have just found out my mate who was addmitted to
hospital yesterday with a stroke or brain embelism is to have the wires
pulled tomorrow and he is only 45 yo.
A crying shame as he now leaves 2 children without a father whom they
adore.....
Just makes me more determined to get mine and sail her
a sad sad sad

Be sure to stay involved with the kids. They'll need someone around who
knew and befriended their father.
