New beginning

[Captn Scotty]

Congratulations Jackdaw! Well done, I just met my dreamgirl in 2010 and we've been married four years now(best friends forever) I'm 52 now and one thing I've learned is you have to put some effort into maintaining a good mariage, it's like maintaining an old truck, if you take care of it the going stays smooth, if not it leaves you on the side of the road hitch hiking!!

Are you saying you compare your wife to a old truck?? ;-) interesting advice!

Don't the new models come with a warranty...?

I've had my current one 38 years now...can be a little Cranky and hard to start sometimes... But once she's fired up she purrs like a kitten...

Okay, maybe the old truck wasn't the right analogy? Just saying all the best, and I'm sure glad she enjoys sailing like my wife does, the things you can share are the best!

I wasn't going to say it....

I noticed in the original post that you referred to your intended as "almost" perfect...

Better not let her read your post....

Ah but you missed my point. I said:

only one thing wrong... left hand.. but I fixed that last Monday.

Only thing not perfect WAS she didn't have a ring from me on her finger. ;^)

Haha...

Congrats. I wish you the luck I've had with Nikki. A true partner who loves to sail so much that the girl "who will never cook" is now cooking on charters just to get more sailing in. And she helps in the engine room, too!

I think I'd found an almost perfect woman to share my life with. Jo is amazing.

Glad to hear that there are still wonderful ladies out there who know how to sail and enjoy it. I recently lost my wife/first mate of 47 years. Congratulations to you all.

They say love is blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener!
