No offense taken, we still have old sailing friends who feel the same
way.

It was a tough decision in some respects but in the end it made a lot
of sense for us as we progress into our retirement years. I've had
many good years of sailing on some of the finest boats you could
imagine, including a couple of my own which were more modestly sized
but very well equipped. I could still race every weekend if I wanted
to.

It all comes down to priorities. When I was younger we had more time
than money, and now things are reversed. The most important thing at
this point is spending time on the water and doing some good cruising.
