dreams do come true

Sam is opening up the bridge with his boat - he always wanted a mast big enough that he had to call ahead to open up the bridge.

Sam got his dream boat in April 2007. It is a Hanse and was built in Germany - Sam was even able to visit his boat in Germany while it was being built and see his own boat on the factory line. I skipped the trip to northern Germany and stayed in Munich to shop and play. This was the result of many years of persuasive selling on his part, and to think he said he has never done sales before. Convincing me to get a larger sailboat was probably the hardest sale he could make as I am much more of a powerboater. The boat name is Zig Zag and am sure our adventures on it will show up in many of our entries.
