Where were you planning on retiring that's better than CT anyways? Other than snow, of which you get plenty anyways, the temperate climate should coddle you in comfort the rest of the year.
I do miss the peace of sailing, but the grandkids ( and kids) want tubing and skiing.
Congratulations! That Bayliner Capri is a great boat. Nice ride in the chop and not too bad on gas for skiing and such. I have been eyeing them just for that reason as the "big" boat is a mother ship and not set for training kids to ski.
However, I think I just bought this little dinghy. Frankly, it is impractical as hell but I have wanted one since 1968. I stumbled on to it reading Craigslist while looking for a project Capri or Maxum BR.
I don't want to retire in CT but it seems that is inevitable.
Hell the cat is already there and refuses to come home.
Meanwhile;
I am sending cash Saturday to hold the deal.
