It's not been a year, can you believe that? But within that time we have left home, bought a boat, explored the San Francisco bay area, made friends, geared up, sailed across the South Pacific, arrived home and....sold the boat!
Yep as of the 1st of February we are no longer the owners of the lovely Sea Otter. She sits at Southport Yacht Club awaiting her new owners. I can just about hear her saying 'come on, lets get going again, I'm bored'
It's a sad and happy time, a small blip in the radar of time. A good year. Lucky number 8. Left on the 8th of February in the year 2008. 8 months away.
The new owners are currently working in Tasmania till end of March, so until that time we will check on our girl, make sure the mooring lines are ok, the bilge is dry and she's not too dirty. We will have our unit at Maldives back on the 1st of March, so it will be easier to pop in on her, pat that glossy bum and remember what a great boat she turned out to be.
And what a great year 2008 was.
Farewell Sea Otter, and as cruising yachties say to their friends.....fair winds, smooth seas.
