Ouch... >_<

So I just heard back from the ship designer.. He wants $8,000.00 Canadian for him and his crew to design me a ship and then give me a 2D color sketch of the ship itself.. TT^TT........

THERE'S NO WAY!!! Not when I know for a fact the I can get myself an actual nice working sailboat for about twice that. Back to the drawing board I guess. I'm just going to stick to my guns.. buy myself a used ~50ft sailboat.. redo the rigging so that she is equiped with gaff rigging and the sails that I desire (if for some reason I can't find a ship for sale that already has such rigging).. repaint her.. then sail off in my new ship.

When doing anything, it's best to stay within your budget. No need to put yourself in debt trying to do something you can't afford. You can still make your dreams come true even without all that cash.. as long as you are willing to be flexible and make a few sacrifices.. and I'm not about to give up!

I WILL make it happen! I'm sick and tired of living in a world that tries to deny people their dreams just because they aren't made of money! I will prove once and for all that one CAN make their dreams come true! No matter their station! No matter their background! No matter their trials! ANYONE CAN MAKE THEIR DREAMS COME TRUE! So long as they are willing to work hard for them!

Watch me world! I'm going to bust down every barrier and obstacle you put in front of me and make every single one of my dreams come true! AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO STOP ME!!!!! ＼(>o<)/
