| It started with purchase of the blueprints in
1972 and hasn't ended yet! So I guess this is year 27 of the
project. Actually the hull was finished in the first 3 or 4 years
include 1 1/2 years spent overseas working to save money for
the project financing which is always a paradox. Either you have
time, or you work and have money but not the time, I find I seldom
have both time and money together, well at least I have persistence.
By now I could have bought a boat with far less effort ( as my
life partner often reminds me), but I don't imagine there would
be as much of a sense of accomplishment with that path. Someday
soon (hopefully 2003) it will be ready. I must stop work for
a year now while we bicycle around the world as part of odyssey2000. |
