| I purchased "Mein Honig" in Novemeber of 2000. I think I spent that entire winter counting days and reading " Sailing for Dummies." I finally put her into a slip in the spring of 2001. I was new to sailing, having never been on a sailboat, only dreaming of it for years. My wife Nicole, for whom the boat is named after, talked me into buying her. I was ready for my first sailing season! After all, I had read my Sailing for Dummies book 3 times. Needless to say, that first year was a challenge to say the least. While I would highly recommend the book I read, I found out what a wonderful group of people sailors are. I learned so much from the other sailors in the marina who were always willing to lend a hand or advice when needed. It seems over the last few years I have learned so much, but have also realized that I have so much yet to learn, but then it's not the destination that we thrive on, but rather the journey that is so exciting.
