Introduction

Strange, this blog is still very popular (September 2012)....

I will try to 'profit' a bit from it, as this is my blog and I sold the 'watergeus' a long time ago.

A Westsail is a marvelous boat, but you should not be in a hurry. The standing riggin and the chainplates should be still in good shape, as I changed them in 2006(?) and all with staylocks. Easy to change......

I have finalised another adventure, making a living as a farmer in Chile, and again I move on and again it is for sale for a decent price.

Gorgeous Terrain with rivers, trees and raspberries for sale in the south of Chile

Take a look at it. It is really unique, specially the forests, that I really struggle to capture correctly.

Curious what I'm going to do right now? Just follow this blog and I will let you know when I have sold my very nice terrain in the south of Chile.

The Cap-Horn windvane does a perfect job.
