Being a second generation boat builder with a well know company I was asked by business men and members of Parliament to start a boat budding operation for both commercial tuna boats and pleasure boats for export. When I think about it my life is in a rut anyway. So why not make a move?
They are offering me room and board and a driver with an auto. Honestly I had no idea where Sri Lanka was until I looked it up on a map after they asked.
It started when I got a phone call from a business manager for a minister in parliament. His name was Mudthi ( they all have names we never heard of). He first asked if our company had any boat molds for sale that they could use to make commercial fishing boats with. My answer was sure we have all sorts of molds to build all sorts of boats from 18 to 54 feet.
The conversation went on for two hours until I realized this guy is either nuts or he will pay to get some help.
I cut the conversation by saying that in order to evaluate if our molds can be of use is to put my feet on the ground there in Sri Lanka and see what the situation was. He agreed and left it that he would send me a pane ticket.
Two days later I received a round trip ticket to Colombo.
