But the fuel in my tanks only cost about 2 bucks/gallon, if that. g

Figured I'd let you ponder that for a bit, then explain.

I haven't done any long distance "cruising" for a couple of years now and
the little fuel I've used hasn't amounted to much, so the full tanks are
stilled filled with diesel fuel that was purchased quite a while ago. I
almost took it south to Florida again, but circumstances prevented the trip.

I've been ocean boating now for about 12 years and have had a variety of
boats of all sizes. But now, our lives have taken a bit of a course change.

New interests, new hobbies, family issues have diminished my desire to be on
the boat as much. I still enjoy the atmosphere and get occasional itches to
take a long voyage, but overall I think our serious boating days are coming
to an end. I've got the Navigator up for sale .... if it sells ... fine ...
if it doesn't this year, fine again. I may get the itch again. As you
know, we also have the Grand Banks 36 that is pretty as a picture now with
all the work that has been done on it, but again, other activities will
probably limit the amount of time we spend on it. We may end up putting it
on the market as well.

This is the story of my life anyway. I tackle new things with gusto, but
often get tired or bored with them after a while only to move on to a new
challenge. Flying is an example as is music. Boating, as an interest, has
lasted longer than most and I am not 100% sure I am done with it yet. We'll
see.
