Sailing in a Glorious Daze (3.17.10)

By: Cleo Robertson

Norman Kosciusko, Skipper and Anne Condor, First Mate have undertaken a new business that will surely be a winner. As the picture shows, their 1998 Fountain Pajot, Bahia Catamaran is a 48’ winner in anyone’s book. The mast extends 67’ into the air sporting three sails. As she clips along at an average cruising speed of 6 knots, everyone on board gets to relax, enjoy the smooth ride and glorious views all around. As the name indicates, the Glorious Daze will put you and your friends right where you want to be.

Norman and Anne recently hosted a few friends to go on a “maiden” voyage and though it was cold and windy, everyone had a wonderful time as the slideshow demonstrates (Click here to view a slidehow of the voyage). Norman is a master of avoiding bad weather so we had a lovely ride and saw a great sunset. He and Anne prepared a grilled Shaner steak tenderloin dinner with all the trimmings.

Entertainment was delightfully provided by CJ Harding, the only Patsy Kline singer who gets invited back to Patsy’s hometown every year to sing for Patsy’s birthday. What a time we all had trying to sing along with this woman who has a voice that won’t stop.

When it was time to turn in, we each had our own cabin with private toilet. As I laid in my very comfortable queen-sized bed, I could hear the water lapping gently on the sides of the boat and the last vision in my eyes before sleep was of the Don Ce Sar, lights showing off all its’ glory, shining through my cabin window. I truly slept in a glorious daze.
