End of the Cruising Life
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 Go to: http://www.morelr.com/valkyrie For all the details. Rick |

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. Wilbur Hubbard |

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. Wilbur Hubbard |

For all the details. Rick Id recomend leaving the grandma at the dock with a good PT. She can work on strengthening her core and become active again. Shell live longer. While that is happneing you can enjoy a cruising life. But I msut agree with wilbur de-clutter your boat. If the outside is any indication ..... your inside looks the same. not a good idea for crusiing. Where did you put your potted tomato plants, inside? Bob |
