Kate,

DON'T YOU EVER BELIEVE THAT! Selling your boat is also selling a state
of mind. When you've been happy with a boat for 17 years and have to
Beach yourself, there isn't very much Happiness connected with the sale.

Yup. Facing the termination of an important / significant period of your
life is about as painful as anything. I can empathize.

If you lived nearby, I'd certainly invite you to go sailing at your leisure,
Thom.
