Some boats stay with you longer than others. What can I say? Things change. We’ve a lot on our plate, most self-inflicted. In any event, this sweet little boat has found a new owner who I believe will carry on her renovations. I know he likes the design because he has a 1965 Tartan 27!
I’d be lying, if I said I didn’t have some remorse. What a wholesome and easy sailing boat Chick is. That old adage about a boat owner’s best two days, the buying and selling of, has never set right with me on the back end. I’ve missed them all. Nonetheless, Chickadee sailed off last Sunday to live on the Coan River off the Potomac. I expect I’ll see her again. Hope so.
Lingering Lunacy 
Parting is such sweet sorrow
Just part of the continuum.
Understand your remorse.
But better to have one boat to sail rather than two in the bush, or was that birds.
Ah, more bushes required I guess.
I don’t really know you but, I didn’t think that boat was “you”! I think you’re a “classic” kind of guy! Did you guys get in a fall sail yet?

Thanks Terry. “Classic”? Now something else I need to live up too!
We need to make our Sooty Terns cross paths.
Hi Eddie!
So Chickadee is gone! I share your thoughts and mixed feelings when parting with a vessel you like and have worked on. It’s almost like a child, hard to let go of, but you know you must. I sense a little sadness myself, to think that Chickadee is on her way to a new place.
How is the Frances 26? Did you get her brought down to where you live? I am sure the hurricanes are a bit of a worry for you, but you are probably in a very protected spot if a big storm should come along.
I have a friend and neighbour interested in buying SKORRI. His main problem is finding suitable summer moorage, so we will see what happens.
Thanks for keeping in touch!
Cheers, Rob
Thanks Rob! Skorri is my favorite OCH video you know.
Better to have had, than not had at all.
Pics and memeries!
