A very close friend moved from the dark side ( power boating) into the sunshine ( sailing). Having said with me he decided that a C-34 was his choice. The search began, the boat was found, the process started and the virus choked down most activity. The seller, in his mid 70's appeared slightly detached. Yesterday, the boat was transported, stepped, splashed, acceptance tested by the surveyor and moved to a dock for rigging of the sails. It soon became apparent about the detachment of the seller, who is a very nice gentleman. He was confused about many aspects of how the boat is rigged. A brother in law who had more knowledge of the boat was there to assist him. Very sad time indeed when the aging process overtakes anyone, and even more so when it's the original owner of a boat with so many memories that are now fleeting ghosts...
