I hope it's okay to post this.

We don't want to, but we have to sell our floating home. Cathy
suffered a back injury and unsucessful surgery in the 90's. We were
told a day would come when she couldn't handle the movement and such.
We were hoping that day was years away, but it looks like it's now.
So, after almost 3 years of living aboard and not as much cruising as
we'd like, it's time before she gets worse.

Our plans are to get a motorhome and play "land yacht".

We're currently in Pensacola, FL

For all the details.

Good Lord what an UGLY boat. Everybody please get a load of the 2 X 4
bimini top. Bwahahahhahahahha. And the black plastic dock box on the
foredeck. And all that other crap and clutter all over the deck. And
what's with the plastic shower curtain under the boom? Bwahahhahahahah.
Floating trailer park trash and no mistake.

I would be ashamed to be seen in a lubberly-looking boat like that. Get a
Winnebago right away - more your style.

Oh my GAWD! I just saw another view -

The mizzen mast is incapable of carrying a sail. It is being used as a
platform for a couple of solar panels maybe??? And get a load of those ugly
davits. I feel sorry for that boat. It has been wounded. It has been
humiliated. It has been shamed. There is not one iota of pride showing in
that boat. It's trashed.

It sure doesn't surprise that these poor folks are giving up sailing.
Everybody surely must have been snickering at them behind their backs
everyplace that pitiful display of seamanship showed up.
