@razgueado: Are you going to be doing the annual sailing trip with the family this year?
No. Dad had to sell the sailboat in late 2023. My sister and I considered taking over the expenses, but the boat was too old and too difficult to pilot, so we let it go. We are exploring purchase of a 38 foot motor yacht.
Sailing is fun, but wind is too unpredictable on Puget Sound, and the weather in which sailing is good is not everybody's idea of a good time. Also, the 30 foot sailboat got too cramped as all the kids grew up.
So Beth and I are looking at 38 foot motor yachts, preferably diesel. That's a better option for getting on the Sound at this stage in the life of the clan.
