Neil's dad, Jamie, is in the process of joining our desire to sail. He is on his way today to Mexico to look at a boat in which he has held great interest in. If all goes well, he will be the new owner of a very nice 40 foot steel sailboat. I am super excited for him. He has only known power boats, and little ones at that. As any "sailor" knows, a powerboater and a sailboater are two different species! One thing that will be hard for him to get over will be to S-L-O-W down. Getting used to "Island Time" can at first be harder for some than giving up ciggarettes! Once you are there, though, it's even harder to come back!
I hope the best for him and am looking forward to the news and seeing him in person,(it's been a few years) just in time to take him to the boat show at Jack London Square next week.
Fingers crossed!
