   I am reaching out to a body of sailors that always seem to have given
   everyone on this forum including to myself some of the best advice.
   This not a technical request. 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.

   There is nothing wrong with a cabin on the water if you enjoy it when
   you are there. At 73, I?m using mine less but when I brought up maybe
   selling it, my wife said no, the kids can sell it when we are gone.



   Find ways to enjoy it as much as you can. Invite friends out for drinks
   at the dock or burgers on the grill.

   I'm nearly 70. Even though my wife doesn't like the money the boat
   costs, the bigger fear for her is that I would be underfoot all day if
   I didn't have a boat to fiddle around with.



   I suppose the question, Marko, is how you would spend your time that is
   now spent on the boat.



   If you would be locked up at home watching tv, it's a bad idea.



   If you would find it more fun to volunteer or golf or something, that's
   an option. The idea is to do whatever you find enjoyable.



   Me, I take a few trips every year. But most of my time is day sailing
   on Tampa Bay, music on, beer in hand, watching the dolphins and birds.



   I can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon.

   Selling one half interest so you have a partner in the work and
   ownership might help.

   I think Jack pretty much nailed it. Whatever you do, don't buy a couch!

   Marko,



   We sold ours last winter because we just weren?t using her and the
   kids/grandkids didn?t show interest in her?..we ended up going to the
   dark side and bought a Boston Whaler Vantage. No overnights, but we are
   using her on a regular basis.
