Larry, congratulations and condolences. I hope you will still visit the
"list".
Feeling sad is a fitting benediction to parting with a boat.

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.
