What's this another one giving up sailing for work - what are you guys nuts or
something - lets see wife or boat - I kept the boat and I just gave up a
lucrative high pressure position with a 4 hour+ daily commute to lower paid
position low stress position with about a 90 minute commute so I could be
nearer the boat - and have more time for sailing - then again maybe I'm just a
little out of touch

Hmmmm ...
Mine's up for sale,
new job, no time to sail.
I suppose I should begin to anticipate
some kind of depressed period. My employees will LOVE that. Not.

Hi all,
Well I sold my beloved and cursed Dixie Chicken on Friday. Very nice
guy
bought it. He got a good price on the boat. I'm suddenly very
sad. You
really pour so much of your life, sweat, money and soul into a boat that
it almost seems to have its own personality. But I can see that I
just
don't have the time and energy to put into working on it and sailing it
like I use to have.
C27's are great boats though, arn't they?! I helped the new owner
shuffle
the boat to Calvert marina on Saturday. We sailed it. He was
just loving
the performance. He kept refering to his old boat as a 'tub' compared
to
the C27.
Ahhhh. So sad... So sad...
The wife seems pleased.
I mourn.
