I've been MIA for almost 5 years now, but I'm doing fine and living life. Sorry to have been so distant.
A lot has happened, and then again, it seems like a lot is the same - but life still went ripping by year after year. I think I was last active here in 2020, and unfortunately, none of the time from then until now was spent sailing my Mac.
That's why I'm back. My poor Mac has been sitting in the yard not getting fixed, not getting rebuilt, not getting finished. I think it is time to part ways with it and move on to the reality I am now living in. I'm healthy, in my right mind (mostly), and I could use it if it was fully repaired. I often think about using it again, and where we'd go next.
But the reality is, it turned out to be a project boat, and in a big way. I don't have time for that size and scale of a project. I have a full-time job that requires some travel, and we end up busier than we want to be in the time I'm not working. My wife is over having me outside, MIA while working on the boat, so it is no longer something fun and exciting to look forward to for us as a team. We sailed it a few times while I was working on fixing it up, and it was a lot of fun. My wife and I could both see the potential in it. But it was never really fixed to the point where it could be used without a lot of prep and work. And now I'm just getting older, and the boat is too.
So, if I remember correctly, there is a "classified" section on the main website, and I'll be posting it there.
I miss the fun times on here, but I also can't restructure my life back to where it was when I was last investing time and money in the boat (2018?). This is a great site and I'll always recommend it. But it's time to move on.
Hope to see you all out there sometime!
