Congrats, man. I have been faced with the loss of my boat at the end of a relationship, too and it sucks. I'm happy for you.

Thanks guys, I think is definately the right descision, I mean could I have really parted with her. I don't think so.
Anyways, looks like I will back on her this weekend re-installing many of the things I had removed in preperation for the sale, like the 15" flat screen, radio, and a few new things like a new vhf and YES a new 9.8 Tohatsu (to be ordered later in the week). Many more beers on her once again.

She does not have a name and I was thinking of naming her Pura Vida (pure life) but I think I may need to re-think and find something more appropraite after going thru all this indecision. Hey, maybe that's it "INDECISION" or maybe not. Any suggestions

Puravida,
Zach

Years ago, before I returned to sailing, I was into motorcycles. I had lusted after a Norton Commando - a late 60's early 70's British design known then and now for being beautiful and very fast. I found one in boxes at a local classic motorcycle shop. On a rainy Friday in December I made my deal for a 1974 Dunstall Commando - a very sought after varient. The shop owner and I rebuilt is all winter. Come spring it was perfect. Utterly beautiful. When I rode it, I spent more time talking to bike nuts when I stopped than actuall riding. But I needed a new car. I decided to sell the bike. Girlfriend at the time's father - a very financially conservative guy - tried hard not to let me sell it. In his words, it was part of my idiom and no amount of money was going to replace it. I sold it. I regret it almost daily in the summer time.

I'm glad you are able to keep your boat. When you have to doubt it again, don't. Its part of your idiom. There isn't enough money to replace what it represents.

Sail well.

I glad your not going to sell her. I told to wait for things to settle down. I have a 48 HD and for a few years I didn't ride but I never sold her because I couldn't replace her. A couple of years ago I rebuilt her and I riding again. There is nothing like being in the wind on a bike or on a sailboat.
