    What an amazing stop on the journey for the two of you.
    1. Best of all worlds. You can use the boat for some unspecified time. But you don't own it. Perfect. If you buy the boat, you don't own the boat, it owns you.
    2. It says something solid and amazing about 2 separate entities. First is Outremer, they are a company who has strong ideas about where sailing is going. They have a strong vision for sailing and want to lead. Second is about who the 2 or you are.
    3. The O'Kelly's have always been in the top tier of RUclips sailers in my book. But your stubborn adherence to your process of buying a boat says more about you than you realize. I see it all as good.
    4. The thing that separates the O'Kellys from other RUclips sailors is no gimmicks. You are always the real deal. Just the two of you engaging in your passion. Sailing. That is unique. TY

    Shoe glue would have been a better call for those used shoes. Glad you got to use that boat! Loved the last year of couch surfing, but back on the water is where I enjoy you both the most. Safe travels!
