I bought trimaran Jiwa in the year 2000. Apart from the odd bit of rot in the deck which has needed repair, there have been no problems over the 25 years I have sailed her around the north-east coast of the North Island.
I was talking to an old friend the other day about this and that and we got onto the topic of fishing, one which is dear to my heart.
Jiwa in the Indonesian language means ‘soul, spirit or vital force’. It is also the name given to a 28-foot trimaran yacht by its builder Wayne and his wife Jill who were practitioners of an ancient Indonesian meditation at the time.
Tuesday, October 7th started off with a stint in the dentist’s chair, never a great start to any day, but way better than what transpired later in the day.
