Finally, Seas the Moment has a new proud owner! Ross (left side in the picture) and his dad will be enjoying her from now on. She will surely take care of Ross and his crew in future endeavours, and it is my wish that one day, he can take her far out to sea again. Maybe one day, she will help him build the courage to put everything on hold, sieze the moment, untie the mooring lines, and go out to sea on an awesome journey to unknown ports, with an uncertain itinerary, and an unclear plan... where the only element guaranteed is adventure.
Good luck!
Note: There is a common saying out there that claims that a boatowner's two happiest days are the day he/she buys the boat, and the day he/she sells the boat. I'm here to debunk that myth... that might be true for some, and I have in mind those who buy new powerboats and use them rarely... but for others, especially cruisers, who take their boats out for extended adventures, learn to interpret their vessel's personality, and live to tell their sea tales, the day they sell their boat is bittersweet... a financial burden is lifted on to the buyer's shoulders, but the door to a certain type of freedom gets shut as well. To me, the day I signed off her title, did not represent one of my happiest days as a boat owner.
