Can you put her in charter?

There's 1 in Traverse City.

Then, she makes money I'm between your sailing trips.

We weren’t ready to give up boating yet though, and so we bought a trawler. It and we can deal with heavy weather and it is a lot more comfortable around the dock.

This one may be close to many who are reaching the pivoting point in their lives, when they starting asking themselves, why do I keep my boat . I've been widowed for the last 10 years and always thought that my enthusiasm in sailing would continue into my seventies. Well a number of setbacks have put pressure on all of us. Trying to pickup the momentum we all had at one time didn’t work for some, especially after Covid. Currently my Catalina 304 has become more of a cottage on the water, sad to say.  I look forward to any kind of feedback regarding my dilemma and I thank you in advance.
