Stu... is YOUR boat for sale?!?

[Stu Jackson]

Yes

[waughoo]

Stu,

Are you buying something else or are you throwing out the BIG anchor?

[Stu Jackson]

Alex,

I'll be 80 in December.  We've had Aquavite since July 1998 (almost her birthday with us, early July! ).  18 years in SF, cruising and racing, preceded by 11 years with a C25 and four before that with a C22.  Our memorable trip up here in 2016 was followed by fun years cruising the Gulf and San Juan islands.  Many memories, no need for future plans, lots of photos and memories.

Boat is all cleaned out and up.

[waughoo]

Stu,

Well, when you put it that way.  I guess l, selfishly, I was looking forward to meeting you out on the water.  Since I bought my boat 5 years ago, I have been unfortunately more busy than I thought I'd be with a BIG house remodel that I'm doing.  This project has chewed up a lot of my reserve time for longer getaways.  So... that's on me ;-) 

I'm happy to hear of your long run with Aquavite.  The memories are priceless (just like the ones from my parent's Gulfstar they had till I was 11 which set the hook for me getting my own boat).

Good luck with the sale Stu!
