I just had a major maintenance schedule and fuel system upgrade done on
the Navigator and happened to be at the marina yesterday as they prepared
to re-splash it. I took a few pictures with a cell phone camera and they
came out surprisingly good. They may be viewed at:

What are your feelings on selling her? You must have had some great
times on that boat!


You betcha and I am really torn. The problem is that this type of boat
needs to be used for long distance travel or live-aboard to justify the cost
of ownership. That was the original idea when I bought it .... travel
south during the cold winter months, living on the boat, then cruise back
north during the summer. Well, it hasn't exactly worked out to plan. I
*did* go south the first couple of years but other influences and interests
sorta impacted the master plan. Grandkids, elderly parents, horses, etc.
conflict with my simplistic idea. It really makes no sense to continue to
maintain a boat like this if it isn't being used for it's intended purpose.
If it were me alone I could easily live aboard it year round, but it's not
realistic to expect Mrs. E. to share the same level of interest or
acceptance.

Bottom line ... we voted ... I lost.
