After a winter thinking about it, I have at last put my boat up for sale. Although I can still manage her, the amount of sailing I have done in the last couple of years doesn’t really justify the cost, and more importantly, the effort, and I think it is better to go ahead now rather than wait for deterioration to take place. She is sitting outside David Morris’ office at Titchmarsh and although she hasn’t been worked on yet I thought she looked pretty presentable, at least after I had spent an hour asking the guano off. My wife is trying hard to make me feel sad about it but it is not really working, probably because I have had plenty of time to see it coming. As Seneca said, most unhappiness is caused by people’s failure to anticipate adverse events. I don’t know what boating I will be able to scrounge but for the time being I will be occupied with getting her properly ready, and if nobody bites, I might get another season.
