Hi Madehn,

Yes, you understand!

Owning a pleasure boat makes no financial sense at all. To me, owning a boat is a hobbie, a passion, an exercise of both mental and physical capabilities. I love working on them and sailing them. I enjoy the journey as much as the destination. And all along there is something new to learn or experience. I posted here about MYSTERY so that I might learn something more about her that I can share with all my family and friends that sail with me. And I will share what I learn here about her with all those I might meet during my future journeys on MYSTERY.

Thank you for you words of wisdom.

I wont pretend that it will make financial sense but that boat looks cool- by the time you are done you will know what you have The fun is as much in the journey as the destination- if you can count rebuilding her as part of the journey and have the skills, enjoy projects etc then it looks like you have a great trip ahead-- best of luck
