Hi Skip:

If I were looking at my crunched boat I think I would walk away with a
pocket full of insurance money and go find a nice 28' Cascade or
something and go sailing the next day.

After the 1000s of hours invested in Pig I'd think you would be ready
for a vacation. Are you ready to spend the next 2 years in the
yard............ again? Personally as hard as you have worked on her Id think
some fun is in order.

On a slightly related topic.... I read Lydia's comment she logged the
night before the crash. I get the impression she does not like
sailing:

"...There are sailors, and then there are sailors. Some of us sail
because
we're addicted to sailing - that catagory of people usually race
sailboats.
And then there are the others, who sail to get from A to B in order
to
enjoy what's at B. That's us. You're thrilled when you leave port
for your
new desination, and you're thrilled when you arrive. You endure the
in between part...." Lydia

Endure the in-between part? Isn't that called sailing?
