The boat is now out of the water. We have on Saturday and was in bed for the winter, safe in his bed, tightly wrapped in tarpaulin. The fanatical wing is quietly happy. 's The whole process is already planning the peace, will be lonely hours washing, scraping, and generally fixing the boat. I am also happy – knowing that you do not have to go for a sail for at least the next five months! Why is there only one weeks ago we Sea-Dreamer over there to watch, bought bail out, or take a boat trip. All this' what a boat "has taken over our lives much more than I expected.

In fact, taking the Sea-eyed Dreamer was a little 'in every respect. Old, have family problems got a new airing, and sometimes hard. Take the issue of time, eg: "What? This is the third weekend in a row, you sail! When are you more time to [fill in the blank]? 'O Money:' How much? 've already spent a fortune on that boat! ''Honey, I know that the Macho-Mucho-Strong-Closing costs six times as much as anyone else, but do you really want to compromise on safety? A parent / child relationship: "It's not fair! I do not want to go sailing again! It's boring! ''Well, we go – and last! '/ Husband Wife reports: "It's not fair, I do not want to go sailing again! It's boring!''Oh, pleeeeeaaaasssseeee" If co-owner/co-owner reports: "So, if you want the Boat ? "" I do not care – if you do not want the Boat? "" I do not care – if you do not want the Boat? "All in all, I decided that buying a boat for the first time has a marked effect on the relationship – similar to life, such as major changes in a baby.

First and foremost is the fact that really no idea how it will until you get one! As a child, a first boat, the focus entirely new to your life – what can a little 'shock to the members less involved in the family. Eats money, time consuming and absorbs the attention. I comfort me with an idea, though. As a child, a boat requires careful attention to his nether regions – only this time the person who fights out of bed to face a particularly dirty soil will not be me!
