Hi all,
I am re-introducing myself here in "The Tavern" as I have been absent for 2+ years. I joined in December 2005 and after receiving a lot of advice here and on other sites... I had to halt the process and answer my own questions.
I am Douw Venter and I have spent the last two years with my family getting ready to take "THE STEP"
My initial questions were with regards to building or buying etc... but we have subsequently sailed on and chartered as many boats as possible and have reached our final descision...
I have sold my companies and my wife's Events business.. we have taken our kids out of school and are in year 2 of homeschooling... we have sold all bikes and cars bar our pick-up and all our posessions have a home or new owner... we will receive final settlement on the sale of our house here in South Africa soon (2-3 months)... we have extended 10 Year USA Visas in our Passports and will leave on an extended holiday to USA where we will holiday untill we find the "RIGHT" boat.
I have reached the conclusion that Internet shopping from here is cumbersome and hope that being present there will move the buying process along.
If anyone knows of a reasonably priced Fountaine Pajot 46" Catamaran anywhere ....please let me know.
I look forward to participate and learn more from you all.
Thanx
Douw
