Brendon had some work needed to be done but nothing like what you went through. I think "Affinity" is definitely the result of time and labor. I literally know every inch of my boat inside and out. I have put my hand on every inch of her over the 25 years that we have been together. Then if you add the cruising sea miles and the short 30 or 40 mile trips across the channel for the weekends the memories just start to blend into one big, long good time. Then you factor in all the parties the dinners with friends and the wedding and it just gets better and better. And you can't forget family time. Isn't it nice to have had a boat for such a long time? Congratulations.
