In reflection, the year has been a draw. I feel like I lost the classroom control battle, but I have gained the experience to put next year's battle in my favor to win!
NOW for the AWESOME news of the FIRST DAY.
We are the proud owners of an 18' sail boat! The mast is taller than our house! It's built for speed and comfort.
It's a 1977 Chrysler buccaneer. It's a very popular racing boat, that is also a casual day boat for the family. It can hold 6 people. It came with a trailer and is only 500 lbs, so it's very easy to move around.
I traded our 2 kayaks for the boat, trailer, 1.2 HP motor and some new rigging that came in a dry box. It's a little dirty, because it's not been used in a year, but it's in good shape.
I'll show 'before and after' clean up pictures when I get the after ones. I'm so excited I can barely think about it. I just hope Christine falls in love with sailing now. Below is a page I downloaded from the internet. They still make this boat and it goes for about $12,000 bucks new.
