THEY LIED!
I sold Anago Saturday and it was not a happy day. In fact, I'm quite sad.
Two reasons. 1) She has been a good boat. Roomy enough. Easy enough to launch and retrieve. Stable. Nice lines. Good condition. No real complaints. 2) For the first time in 26 years I do not own a pocket cruiser.
Robin has had enough drama in the last little bit (over serveral things) and the boat drama has added to it (unfruitful long trip, headache of selling etc). She wants a one year hiatus to reevaluate our boating. I'm ok with that. I have Disciple Ship to occupy me and she's not big into sailing anyway. So we'll see.
Here's the new owner driving off. He has sailed some - in fact, he did the EC this year with a friend. He's young and athletic - just finished a triathlon! He has a young family, wife, 4 and 6 year old children and they're eager to go.
Wishing him the best.
Here she is headed down the road to her new home in Jacksonville, FL.

And some eye candy as I drove through Atlanta (we met near Warner Robbins for the deal) on the way home.
Not a boat but a gorgeous Maserati that was behind me (until he wasn't) in the stop and go traffic of Atlanta.
I do plan to sail the CIY more than ever and I plan to do a "big" sail sometime in the next 12 months to celebrate my 70 years! Several ideas. I'll keep you posted.
One more thing. Here's my favorite picture of Anago. Happy and beautiful wife with a nice looking boat!
