Glen Stanford stumbled upon the life-altering realm of boating purely by chance. In his quest to fill the void of his quiet weekends, following the departure of his children, he was invited by a co-worker to spend a day on his Sealine F43. On arrival at North Fambridge marina, Glen and his wife were amazed by the size of the boat and the hefty bills it came with. Despite feeling a bit daunted initially, they soon discovered the warm and friendly community. The thrills of boating and the camaraderie within the boating community were so invigorating, they found themselves frequently visiting the marina and making new friends.

They found joy in the seemingly mundane tasks of personalizing their new boat and even learned a valuable lesson about the critical importance of tides which saw them winning their first trophy (however embarrassing the reason). From accidental mishaps to heartwarming adventures, each incident added to their memory chest.

Though their boat seemed tiny amidst others, it became an emblem of their free-spirited journey. It enhanced their social lives, leading them to hearty friendships, jaw-dropping experiences, and countless cherished memories.
