I woke up this morning with a feeling akin to that of the excitement one experiences on Christmas Eve when one is 5 yrs old. Yet I am 30 and all we did was purchase 2 brand new Antal winches at an awesome discount*. The moment was full of tingly sparkles. I can already imagine them on the mast bravely pulling up our spinnaker halyard...
*60% off! They were ordered by someone else who imagined them bigger and self-tailing, since then they have been shunted around from Port Elizabeth to Capetown and have had some mileage. Although they are none the worse for wear. Only hitch is we didn't get the pretty box they came in.
