Hi everyone.
Some of you may remember me from about 7 years ago or so as "Now&Zen".
We had to sell the boat and go back to WA.
We have now retired and bought another yacht, a Hanse 430e that we are getting used to and love it a bit more as each day passes!
Cruising the East Coast and having a great time, if you see us anywhere, call by and say hello.
Cheers!
Good to have you back over here!!
where have those 7 years gone?????????????????????????
Your not living the dream until you add a big hairy dog that poops on your foredeck, netting around your safety lines to hold the big dog in,
a standup paddle board maybe 2 ,
lithium battery's that are impossible too extinguish if the catch on fire,
A bunch of other cruisers that want to anchor that close you can wave to each other when your using the head you could swing a cat in which also reduces storage space for proper long term cruising.
And finally then your misses realises your rolling around in a mono hull and threatens divorce if you don't upgrade to a Catamaran that doesn't sail well to windward and slams like a bitch cause its built like a house and costs most of your retirement to maintain. Anyway your Hanse is a nice looking German boat better than most of the production models..enjoy your cruising retirement now it's not now and zen!
