Why did we choose red when we painted Aleta?
According to Chinese folklore the invisible red thread of destiny binds soulmates together. Traditionally, men and women bound by a red thread will one day become lovers and marry. Adoptive parents often believe a red thread brought them together with their children. We like the idea that a red thread brings together people who believe in the power of the human spirit to overcome obstacles of all kinds.

Have a great Christmas! And a year of Fair Winds and Following Seas in 2022!
Thanks Michael! Four years on she needs some polishing, but she’s still the belle of the harbour!
Love the color. Love the history lesson on the red thread
Have a wonderful holiday and Christmas
Thanks Mark! All the best to you and yours for Christmas and New Year’s!
