LOVE SHARED<\/strong>
\n\"\"Boats have a soul, don’t you think?\u2028They are loyal even in their (and our) later years, \u2028As our sun starts to sink. \u2028They make demands on our time that do not respect \u2028The commitments our significant others expect. \u2028They give rise to disputes, \u2028Sometimes quite serious. \u2028And their reluctance to share us \u2028Can have consequences deleterious.<\/p>\n

Decisions may eventually have to be made. \u2028It can happen that the divorce card ends up being played.\u2028It’s me or the boat \u2013 so the ultimatum goes!
\nMoored out there on the rippled dark water \u2028Sliding this way and that on the tide she sits. \u2028Potential squandered, lonely, calling.
\nThere come nights away, \u2028Watery play, \u2028Absences at home, \u2028A social debt to pay. \u2028Trouble, dispute, aggravation on land, \u2028Or peace afloat? The time to choose is at hand. \u2028Horizons to chase, dreams to follow, \u2028Life as a singlehander starts tomorrow!
\n\"\"People can often be loyal too, \u2028Especially when they are far from new. \u2028The young are more likely casually to break \u2028Previous promises they were too quick to make.\u2028 Old love burns bright \u2028Though its vessel be closer to that long good night.
\nSuch is the world \u2028And many like it that way. \u2028But events, dear boy, \u2028Ensure change tomorrow, if not today.
\nSailors in need of an alternative option \u2028Who install silent self-steering in the transom position \u2028Gain more time to spend on the rest of their mission \u2028Be that reading, relaxing, navigating or fishing!<\/p>\n
