Sold out... am I now a yachtie?

[Marmalade]

Marmalade came off her swinging mooring for the last time and is now snug in Neptune Marina - for good, not just for the winter.

I have pangs of guilt though.. have I sold out? Am I now a yachtie?

No

Marinas are great.

You'll never be a yachtie untill you have

fender socks
a cap
self inflating life jacket
up to date charts
an engine regularly serviced
white sails
...
