All good things come to an end, or so it is said. I advertised Little Dragon on Gumtree and agreed to sell her to Steve from North Lakes, Brisbane.
Our negotiation was that I would take Steve down to the Big River Sailing Club at Harwood so that he could see her rigged, launched, have a sail then retrieve her, pack up and trail her back to my place. That went well and the final part of the deal was that I would deliver her to his place, just north of Brisbane, as his car hadn't yet got a tow ball.
I was in luck, there was an absolutely perfect gentle sailing breeze and I thoroughly enjoyed my final sail aboard Little Dragon. We spent a couple of hours sailing around up to the bridge and back.
On the 10th February Cathy trailed Little Dragon up to her new home at North Lakes. A huge thank you Cathy, she was aboard when we launched for the first time 13 years ago and there at the end.
Now she belongs to Steve and may you enjoy as many good times with Little Dragon as I have. Neptune will be happy as Steve says he will keep the name Little Dragon and I will be happy as he will repaint the topsides red.
THE END
But maybe not, Steve did mention the possibility of me going for a sail on her some time as long as I accept that he is now the Captain.
