I found them back in their van life days and thought they were nuts to give it for a sail boat. There are a few "sailing channels" that really transcend the content bite format that dominate KZbin today (here is place A animal B and a beautiful woman/man) and really creat short documentary moves every week. Uma, Wynn's, LA Vagga, Dellos ( how frocking awesome is Brian kaz?) Atticus and Parlay to name a few. When the Wynn's literally singlehandedly saved a guys life and changed how big pharma operates I knew there was something different about them! I hope we get another live with them next week.

Thanks Ben! Happy to share it all! What kind of boat is in that travel lift? In can’t quite make it out!

[@benthiry9865]

@@david_shih hey David good to hear from you. She's a 1985 Grand Soleil 39 Alain Jezequel designed boat, Italian built by Cantieri Del Pardo. They called it back in the days the Spaghetti Swan due to the fact that it is strikingly similar. Saw that boat in Cruising world I think or some other magazine when I was 18 and promised myself I would one day get her and there I am. Picked her up in Camden ME. I am so inspired by you and Parlay cause I am putting a lot of time and effort in bringing her back to her original beauty and sail off in 2024 towards the Caribbean. As you know, it's a lot of work. But looking how you kept on tracking forward with all that it involved for you and your family keeps me going . My wife and I do not have the goal to go around the world but we are planning for an extend Cruise. Anyway thanks for the inspiration and all of your positive vibe! Hoping to cross your path one day.

[@david_shih]

@@benthiry9865 what a story my friend!!! Saw her at 18 and made a goal that you actually fulfilled. That’s inspirational. You’re bringing your baby back to life! What did you name her?!
