History of this blog

A cutter created by John Gale Alden in 1940

Editing through the first posts SEO section, one of the most difficult tasks I've done since the re-opening, or better said, the re-launching of this blog, I've seen how messy was the Google acquired Blogspot model. I hardly came to stabilize a font, any point changing, changed everything, and so on. When I transferred the XML file here, I have had the unpleasant surprise to see that what I thought were "tags" on blogspot, were actually instead of "categories", and that made the editing a little confusing at first. After that, I realized I'm on Wordpress, on the best framework ever invented, with my favorite theme (child theme, actually, but it matters only if you'll choose an offer from the blue tab on top of the page. A very useful plugin, which unfortunately you can't find anymore in this form.

This is a beginning post dedicated to my dearest partner, love and IT mentor. Secrets of buying or selling boats, will be soon developed in the pages of this blog.

Who claims that this was a childhood dream, has the money, but consider that is not the right time to ride the rainbow tail of his wish, is not telling the truth. This guy never wanted a boat for him, he just imagined himself as a yachtsman, maybe a racing one, and this thought frightened him. It takes a lot of character to buy a boat to be yours, even with the pretext of buying it for the loved one, or for the sibling, "for later", as I was told, a few times. Not one that I know, sold everything valuable, to buy a yacht and move effectively on board. This is a real step to make. But what a life he choose. From golf to golf, through the Caribbean, never to stop, never to be bored. Do you believe?
