Now we are closer to our dream one step further. Quicker than thought we signed the purchase contract at 17:02:05 for Amel Sharki. But first things first.
End of January 05 I discover an advertisement in the home of TO, Trans-Ocean, Association for the Advancement of deep-sea sailing. An Amel Sharki with mooring Jesolo, Italy are offered. Quick I contact the seller and we will receive a CD with 180 photos current. Time and again these are just least looked at and studied. According to the descriptions, plans, pics and many other investigations, this could really be a suitable vessel for our plans.
We make an appointment in mid-February and are looking forward to the huge old lady.
Full of expectation, we drive to Venice. In Marina di Jesolo, we can see the Whisper and the same may also dwell on it. Everything goes very fast. The ship makes us a well-kept, good impression. After a thorough examination and a great test drive, we both decided to buy this ship.

Now just have to rewrite the flag across the stage.
