Memories, light the corners of my mind...

Recently, Hay Day Twitter asked, "We all have memories! When was the last time you felt nostalgic about something? What was it about? Let's share them with us! "

I'd like to share a memory about the Hay Day derby when it was introduced circa 2015 when derbys lasted 7 days, IIRC. After derbying for a few weeks, I saw a task for 400 points to complete 12 boats. This task was imprinted in my mind because at that time, I've been playing for about a year and choose impulsively instead of taking a moment to do a cost-benefit analysis.

The journey to complete the task in about 5 to 6 days was painful, but I learned some valuable lessons which I applied later to buy all pets requiring vouchers only. First, I must hoard diamonds to open up slots for existing and new machines instead of hiring Tom to get goods for the boat. Secondly, I flagged the wrong crates for help because they weren't filled and I must make goods to complete my boats. And finally, when game shows me what goods the next boat will ask for, I must consider I have limited time to make only two-thirds of the crates and must depend on the kindness of strangers to complete the other one-third. If the boats are too hard for me and the community, then I must send them away and prepare for easier boats.

In the current global boat event which will end in about 6.5 hours, it's a joyful experience to complete 21 boats with the Main Farm and Baby Farm supporting each other. I also used the free boat boosters.

I'd like to end this post with an excerpt of The Way We Were.
