Wayne, you in particular may like this:

Video made by two friends of mine from the guitar shop days.

Cecilia and George used to perform on the shop's stage regularly
as singer/songwriters. Two years ago they bought a 41' Hans Christian
sailboat that was in rough shape and have completely rebuilt her.

George is a carpenter known for doing extremely fine finish work.
Cecilia was originally from Norway but her family immigrated to the
USA when she was young.

Anyway, they have been working on "Ring of Kerry" for the past two years
and are about to sail off to distant lands this summer. They recently
got married as well.

Cecilia is the one singing in the video. I just wish it was a little
larger but it is a nice record of their work and preparations.

Very, very nice. I wish them well. Thanks for posting that Richard. Its refreshing...



They are an awesome couple. She has a very interesting background
having founded a unique on-line travel service that became very
successful. She sold it a few years ago. I remember talking to George
shortly after they bought "Ring of Kerry" and George was just estimating
the work involved to bring her back to good shape. Well, one thing led
to another and they've basically rebuilt the whole boat including new
tanks, new engine, new teak, all new hull penetrations plus new canvas
(that they made) all new electronics and a refurbished cabin. I could
never tackle a job like that.

I should probably add that the song she is singing is an original
composition and performed by her and George.

All impressive accomplishments. However from a financial standpoint
they would no doubt have been better off to buy a boat that didn't
need as much work.
