Sold two boats in 2 days. Beats my record of selling the Navigator and
the Grand Banks within 2 weeks of each other.

The 40 footer is under agreement subject to survey and sea trial.
Should be gone by the end of this month. It's a decent boat, but I
never really "bonded" to it. Not really my style.

Today I sold the little 17' SailFish CC that I had "sold" to my older
son's father-in-law about 10 years ago. He's been using it on a lake in
NH, but has no more interest, so he gave it back to me.

It's a great little boat. Very stable. I half considered keeping it
and repowering it, but I doubt I'd use it much. I am not into
trailering boats around anymore.

So, now the search begins anew. Can't be boatless, but am going to
take my time and decide what I really want and then look around for a
decent one. Right now I am inclined towards a smaller boat ....
somewhere around 29-30 foot, but I also have an itch for another
trawler type. I am sorta kicking myself for selling the Grand Banks.
It was a fun boat.

I was talking to the broker at Kingman Yacht Center this morning. He
said that boat buying activity has really started picking up recently.
Sign of a recovery? Hope so.

If you aren't into long voyages, but want comfort and something easy to
handle, take a look at the new Mainship 31s. I sure am. :)
