Behold the
new member of our
family, Anna Karin. She is a “Vindö 45” born in 1983.
For some time now, we have been dreaming about calling a ship our own. Pretty soon we have decided that it will be a conservative long keeler. Since the last
charter trip, particularly since “that night”, were more and more interested in Vindös.
Basically, we wanted to keep looking for “the one” for some time still, some 2-4 years. However, while looking at a second
boat that we saw
for sale during our
vacation trips, Anna Karin spoke to us.
Thus, she belongs now to the
family. She is not perfect, but she is ours.
Two weeks ago, we did the take-over. She went back to her
winter storage directly thereafter, because of some
work that must be done before she sees
water again. This
work is planned by myself, but will be the financial responsibility of the previous owner. Then there is some work that should be done before she
sails, and there is work that can be done… So I keep planning for the
winter.
We were considering changing the name. But the
boat has always carried the name Anna Karin. You do not rename a new friend either once you meet.
Yesterday we were with her again; we had the
engine winterized, and took the detailed list of
equipment and material that came with her. Possibly, I will be able to visit her every 2-4 weeks in winter, so the relationship can be a fruitful one.
