Goodbye to the old, hello to the new

Drove down to Richards bay on Monday, met Greg the owner of Debenair, and we knew instantly that she was the one, the future Yrumoar.
So we made an offer and agreed upon a price and payment plan. Afterwards we drove through to Durban and spent the night with Lola’s sister and brother in law, Kim and Darren, and in the morning we drove back to Gauteng. Total distance covered one thousand five hundred kilometres in two days. I believe that we will be making this trip quite often in the next few months and although it is far the roads are excellent and the trip doesn’t take that long. The week before this we got a call from Danie to view our Vivacity and we met him on the Saturday at the Vaal. He seemed impressed with Bluefin and said he would confirm on Monday. Whilst driving down on Monday we received his call and made arrangements for the following Saturday to meet again. We decided to go down to the Vaal on Friday night to spend some time getting her ready for Danie’s visit on Saturday morning and met him on Friday night at the restaurant. After a short visit with him we went down to Bluefin to get her ready and have our last sleep over, but the shore power kept on tripping and whilst trying to find out where the problem was on the marina we went past Nikitu and met Gus and Pauline. This turned out to be a very interesting evening and we eventually got to bed at four in the morning. Needless to say we where not very fresh on Saturday when Danie arrived but we did take him out for a quick sail and then down to the bank to finish our business. Whilst sailing back into the marina Kyle our youngest son started to cry and told me that you don’t know that you love something until it is gone so he would miss Bluefin, shame, I understood how he felt.
