I bought him a sailboat. He had one years ago when he lived on the east coast but had to sell it. now that we are moving to the west coast (BC island) he had said that he would like to get another sailboat. So we have been looking for the last few months seeing what we could get and then I came accross this one that another military guy had tosell because he was being posted and DF had a look and was vary happy with it so I bought it for him.

It is only 23' but as I have never sailed before. We wanted one that he could sail by himself if need be and was small enough for me to learn on.

What a GOOD boy! ;)

I suggest a copy of this:
http://www.amazon.com/Sailing-Henry-Beard/dp/0761123873/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1270663311&sr=8-1
to keep you both laughing.
Funniest book I have ever read.

What is it? It looks rather like a Georgian 23, which is what Mr. Diva owns. He is a life time sailor, and even has a piracy charge under his belt (that was pre-me!) I have only recently started sailing and somedays I like it and other days I hate it. But then again, I don't swim so that might have some bearing on my level of like/dislike of sailing. And I can swim, I just don't.

Nice! Although a friend who has owned both horses and sailboats always told me she never knew which was the bigger money pit! :innocent:

What a nice gift!!! I have always wanted to try sailing but never had. My mom's side of the family is big into sailing and my grandfather and mother were even in the Olympics for sailing! I don't know the first thing about it though.
