I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

Re: Lady of The Sea
Thanks all of you, - thought it might not mean much to non sailers, but yachties would identify with it.
She was based on an English workboat, - made for heavy seas. They were pointed both ends, - hence double ender. The idea being that they were less likely to be swamped by following seas . Best rough weather yacht I have ever sailed.
Also the most expensive thing to maintain I have ever owned, cost me a fortune and every bit of my spare time for three years. I loved it, but eventually sold it to a boatbuilder who wanted to completely restore it. That was eight years ago and he's still only part way through it!

The purpose in life is to have fun.

Don't know about a book, - but I have been lucky enough to have done a few things. I decided early on that I wasn't going to die wondering.Bob Pacey wrote: Got the basis of a book if you do not already have one.

Thanks for the thought Heather, but anything I write is in the public domain. Anyone is welcome to use it. - I guess I'd simply see it as a compliment. If somebody claimed it as theirs they'd just be made to look silly.Heather wrote:Excuse me, I gotta go and wash the salt out of my hair! No need to be a yachty Henry - you took us there.
