| Nanook |
When My knee hurt and my back was killing me I gave up playing golf and sold my yacht, Nanook, a Noelex 22 which I owned for 15 years. I started to spend too much time in front of the keyboard, up to 17 hours per day. That was a mistake alright because this made my health worse.
To regain my health, I walked in the mornings with Christine, my wife; then in the afternoon, I go kayaking on Hamilton lake to get my upper body exercise. It was working but I needed something more to motivate me to continue with this regime of walking followed by kayaking so that I can get well again soon.
I post my health problems on FaceBook and received many helpful suggestions from all over the world! I was also under going acupuncture treatment, sticking needles in my back at the same time!
Confucius says: the more needles you stick on your back, the faster you will get well!
It was not easy to find a replacement mast for my catamaran; but I managed to do it. A new mast would have cost more than this boat. I am a perfectionist and cannot stand the sight of the ugly dent left there by the previous owner. It bothers me too much to leave it alone; must remove the dent!
