Beautiful Boats

With a Shields and a Bluenose Sloop you seem to be collecting beautiful boats. I can imagine your owning an H28 one day too.

As beautiful as the H28s are I have more of a Rozinante personality. It's that darn engineless thing. I did have some soul searching when that bare Rozinante hull became available on eBay. Tim, who should know better, forwarded me the add and caused no small amount of mental anguish. But in the end the Shields won out.

Not a bad life at all when a Rozinante comes in second.
