That's depressing - are you sure you didn't drive too far north by a few thousand miles?

Thankfully, it is beginning to look a lot like Spring in my area. This is a good thing, since even though it's no longer my boat, I will get to sail her for at least one last time in about 3 weeks. That's when the sea trial is scheduled.

Since the new owner (from PA) is keeping her in my marina for at least a few weeks after, maybe permanently if his relocation plans pan-out, I thought it would be a nice gesture and asked my broker to convey my offer to crew with him anytime he wants, knowing he's solo with no contacts here. This would at least get him acquainted with all the systems after the sea trial.

Don't know if that was a very wise thing to do and hopefully, I won't end up regretting this offer.
