Happiness in marriage to your boat is not something that just happens
A good marriage must be created It is Not Expecting Perfection in Each Other. It is Cultivating Flexibility [or flexi fix], Patience, Understanding [she will run] and a Sense of Humour, after all most boats are female
In the Art of Marriage the Little Things are the Big Things. As we all know little things turn into big thing, “just a little hull crack”
It is having a Mutual Sense of Values and Common Objectives; it is Standing Together Facing the wind, rain, sleet, snow, and best of all the sunshine. It is having the Capacity to Forgive and Forget
It is Doing Things for her not in the Attitude of Duty or Sacrifice,
But in the Spirit of Joy
It is Not Only Marrying the Right boat, it is Being the Right boat Partner. It is Speaking Words of Appreciation and Demonstrating Gratitude in thoughtful Ways, like a good polish.
It is Never Being Too Old to get cold hands,
It is Remembering to Say, "I Love You" so that she starts fist time!
It is Never Going to Sleep Angry, because someone missed the cleat and you made a hash of berthing
It is at No Time Taking the depth for Granted, sometimes, it is lower,
It is a Common Search for the Good and the Beautiful seas and harbours It is Discovering That Your Love for the boat at its Best Will Never Lose Sight Of Nor Be Blotted Out By the Common Place Experiences of Life on the water.
And it is Remembering that Remaining Devoted, Confident, and Hopefulness of a full booze cupboard another are the Secret Ingredients Which Will Help You to Remain Happy People Richer for Your rose tinted memories of your time together.
