Being a sailor, I
really understand the feeling of seeing a neglected boat restored to its purpose, given a new life, as it were! Great post!

I've always said...
...that a boat owns a person, not the other way around, unless the person is rich and can afford to have someone else do all the work, but, barring that, to go sailing is way worth it.
I can't wait to do it again sometime.
