It seems like just yesterday I was writing the last post about the regatta in Lanzarote! Now it is almost New Years and I have have done nothing on this for so long.
I can tell you that it has been a bit of zoo around here. I have been in final negotiations with Quantum regarding the sale of my company to them. Well all of that is now done and I am officially no longer a loft owner! I will moved to by Quantum to a new loft in Chicago.
Quantum is currently finalizing the lease of a building and we will be up and running by the Strictly Sail boat show in February. Exciting times I can tell you!
I am not sure what is next for me on the sailing scene but I guess either a Swan regatta or maybe St. Pete NOOD. I will keep you in the loop as it comes.
I cannot tell you all geeked I am to be moving to Chicago. That is such a great town and the sailing community are some of the nicest people and they take their sailing seriously I cannot wait to start building new working relationships with the sailors of Chicago.
I will also post the new address as soon as we have signed the lease. It is in a great spot, easy to get to and while it is nowhere near as large as my current building, it will serve the sailors just as well.
We plan on having a series of talks at the loft over the winter and again a list of those will come out real soon.
Anyway, I will keep in touch on a more regular basis I promise.
Happy Holidays!!!!!!!
PS the picture is of Porto Rotundo, much warmer times!
