Hey guys,
You're all basically correct in your assumptions. I have been casually boat-hunting ever since selling the Nauticat - and yes Freesail, the profits were invested wisely
, actually earning money, despite this dreadful economy.
Daughters' wedding was of course a financial hit, but a HUGE success - truly a great day for everyone. We're both very proud of them.
There's been a gradual drop in design business for the past few months, due to some uncertainty with prospective clients. Being conservative, and until things pick up a bit, we've decided to not incur any big debts over depreciating assets.
We have been getting out on and under the water every weekend, in a variety of ways, but - I do miss my old boat. The new owner has become a friend and loves his boat - as I did. We talk often about her, which doesn't help in reducing my withdrawal symptoms.
I'll be back regularly on SN when we get another sailboat. The wife is actually warming up to the idea of a smaller, stable sailboat, such as a Marshall 22 Catboat. We're looking forward to the Newport Boat Show next month, where Marshall will have an exhibit. If this becomes a transitional vessel, who knows where we will end up?
