I went over to the Simpson Bay Marina in the morning to say hello to Paul Fenn and take a look at “Serenity”, the new Jeanneau 64. I’d seen the boat at the Southampton and Düsseldorf boat shows but this was the first time I’d been aboard a live boat in the water and difference between my 57 might only be 7 feet of waterline but in actuality the 64 is monster of a boat and much, much bigger in all dimensions.
“Serenity” left on the last morning bridge. Although I was pretty much ready as well I wanted to wait one more day for the winds to settle down a bit.
I completed my preparations and warned Mark that he might have to move a bit in order to let me weigh my anchor the next morning.
