Hi Bob, You're absolutely correct on that one.
The fun is that you keep learning something new with each project you undertake. First you get the idea................. Then you do research on how best to solve your problem, and after a lot of head scratching - the more the better - and navel contemplating, - you are ready to, Summon up your courage and drill that hole; or fix that craze crack; or add a cleat; or paint the hull. Just remember that once you learn carpentry; fiberglass work; varnishing; painting; sail repair; doing rigging work; outboard maintenance; each successive job become easier to undertake because you have gained experience and self confidence. To truly be a sailor means being totally independent. You can rely on your knowledge and capabilities to be master of your fate once you are out on the water. It's immensely satisfying to be the total master of your floating universe.
