If you think what I'm attempting is interesting, or you read regularly and enjoy my site, think about helping me out! There are a couple of ways to help, or send a dollar or two to keep me sailing and writing.

!!! Signed (almost..)

July 25th, 2006

After talking with ‘Steve’ (no, that is not his real name!) today, we have basically signed & sealed a deal for the Contessa. I am so scared right now. I have never been in so much debt. To keep her up on dry land is costing me a considerable sum, and unfortunately it doesn’t look like I can budge him on the price of dry-docking, with a 10% increase if I pay it monthly. Deep breath I hope I can do this.

Shaking.

On a more positive note, he did recommend I not have her gel-coated, which is a costly relief. I am trusting a lot of people already, of whom I have never met. Naive? Maybe.

Err, yes.
