CHAPTER 5
After 31 long years of waiting, the day was finally here. The day that I could stand on the prow of my own ship, and proudly declare to the world that neither wind nor wave would stand in our way any longer! We had made it! We had acquired our boat, our floating home, our future on the water, our ticket to see the world! With a Berber sword in one hand, and the Admiral at my side, we paid homage to the maritime gods, poured champagne over the decks as the tradition dictates, and then, with a mighty swing, Kacey smashed a bottle over the bow, forever memorializing the ships name in the ledger of the deep. The good ship Saint Robert was formally christened on May 25th, 2014 at 2:09pm, and all our friends and family were there to witness our triumph and cheer us on to the nautical life we have always dreamed of. As cliché as this may sound, it was truly one of the happiest days of my life. Thanks to everyone for coming out and making it so amazing! We couldn’t ask for a better crew. Three cheers for the Saint Robert!
