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.

As you know priorities and interests change over the years. Don't give up
on the boating though, even if you cannot devote the amount of your time as
it did in the past. Take a look at the video Chuck posted yesterday,
understanding you are not as old as the old geezer in the
video............SWS would better relate to that old timer. ;-)
