Small Ship Models

Growing up near the shores of Lake Huron, I became accustomed to sailing from a young age. When I was just 7 years old, I was riding onboard my father’s catamaran when the wind shifted and the boom swung right into my midsection. I was sent sprawling into the water, and luckily my life preserver kept me afloat while my dad patiently circled back around to pick me up. I had learned a serious lesson that day, and it was the last time I was ever hit by a boom.

Now that I’m house shopping for a place of my own, it’s suddenly hit me that I’ll need to decorate the home with some nautical pieces. I found a model sailboat online that resembles my own yacht in terms of shape, design and even color scheme. It should look handsome sitting on the corner of the desk in my home office. When I look at it, I’ll undoubtedly think about all the fun to be had on sailboats in the summer.
