Way Over the Top...Not to be Believe with One's Own Eyes!

While I was in the shop explaining my tales of woe, finally to sympathetic and competent people, a fellow marina inhabitant (Pam) took my hand and led me next door to introduce me to people at Dicky B Marine, a true shipwright facility.

As we entered the large building, she pointed to a boat being refitted and casually mentioned that it had been owned by Chichester....I went completely limp, stuttered something as, lo and behold, my eyes took in the Gypsy Moth!

I'm not making this up...there it was, perhaps the most famous yacht of all time and I was standing right next to it!



If I had known how to properly genuflect I certainly would have, my God what a thing to just stumble upon!
