Thirteen or Fourteen years ago I decided to buy a sailboat. I sold her this weekend. Since I was a boy I have loved boats. I am not sure why. I do recall, while fishing the south shore of lake Pontchartrain, look across the vast water, unable to see the other side and thinking, “What’s over there?”
Maybe that’s why I bought this Catalina 25. It was payment on a promise of adventure. The quest to see what’s “over-there”. To chase that horizon like so many other people have done. Now another family gets to use her to chase the horizon and prepare for a dream they have. I hope they find the chase worth it.
I know they are getting a deal. A boat in far better shape than I received her. They are paying far less than I have in her financially; but I have extracted far more than the difference, in experiences. Fair Winds, Ventolines -1.
