yacht glory
GLORY 37 Feet.Sleeps 3 Guests in 1 King(s), 1 Single(s)
I really did not meet David and step on board his yacht Glory until the fall boat show. I had seen the boat, for many years of course, and it reminded me of a "true sailing boat" of "yore" and you could usually find David in some out of the way anchorage snorkeling! I did not realize that it WAS a charter boat at first, not because of it being in bad shape, it was in good shape, it was just obviously a classic sailing monohull, and at 37 feet, about 10 feet longer then the "sailboat" that I received in pieces as a tip in a restaurant I owned! We dreamed of doing something big with that boat, but all it did was sit in the yard and we might have sat inside it and dreamt of the time we could sail-away. Probably with beer in hand back then! Now without three hulls under me, 2 engines, a generator, ice machine and air conditioning I am not sailing anywhere. But many do!

What I did not realize about David until as soon as I stepped on his boat, was how peaceful and soothing his presence is.. I felt myself breathe deeply and everything about the boat was, well, right! I sat in the cockpit and thought that me, who likes all the amenities that you could ever want, would have been happy to sit in the cockpit for a week and be taking back 50 years and REALLY learn how to sail! It is probably the only boat I have ever stepped on and felt like that.
David is both captain and cook, except for the two meals that he requests that you eat out a week. Not only does this man cook and sail, and fix whatever needs to be fixed, he will also teach you how to sail, and i guarantee you will feel like a "true" sailor on GLORY!
He lovingly maintains his yacht, and is being dragged slowly into the modern age, with installing IPODS and the like, but I am certain that it would be a marvellous week aboard Glory, learning the many years of knowledge he has about boats, the area and sailing. I now believe there are too few boats like this around.
