Yeah Joel,
 
Circle of life.  I've owned her now for 23 years.  My wife and I are in our 
seventies now and focussed more on grandbabies.  The second one is due next 
week, so we will be very thankful this holiday.
 
It's time to hand the boat over to someone else who will take her racing and 
cruising for the next twenty five years.  There was some hard work, but mostly 
because I never did that kind of work before.  Once I learned a few skills, it 
was pretty easy, really.  And the boat deserved it.  I'm a different person 
from the one who first fell in love and bought the boat.  I've grown from all 
the experiences, all the races, all the places we've been to and the people 
I've met, a few lifelong friends, etc.  All the things that wouldn't have 
happened without the boat.  Owning a boat is life changing and I recommend it, 
because if you don't hire someone else to fix your problems, you are forced to 
learn skills to fix your problems yourself which makes you more valuable and 
more self-reliant.    
 
There are so many boats on the market not selling, Resolute may be mine for a 
while. She's listed for sale, but I have a couple more projects to complete; 
rebedding a genoa track, and painting the vee berth area, and the floorboards 
need some work, maybe a luxury laminate.
 
And regardless of selling the boat, I'll stay on the list and offer my opinion 
if I think it will help someone.  I joined Stu's list before buying my boat and 
felt the support offered by the C&C group, gave me enough confidence to take on 
owning a 35 foot sailboat.  And today, YouTube adds another source for learning 
new skills that is just amazing.  You can learn how a professional does most 
anything.  It's a good time to be alive.  During Covid, I watched a bunch of 
YouTube and learned how to cook, so now I make most of our dinners.  It's fun 
and I enjoy putting a little love into each dish, and I appreciate when others 
cook.
 
Thanks,
Chuck S
