I had hoped to be teaching Mr. Boy how to sail by now. Instead we’re selling our 1985 Catalina 22. Despite being a native Texan, Mr. B. is at an age when he doesn’t like to be out in the heat. In fact, he started basketball camp today, which is conducted in an air-conditioned gym.
But even when it was good, cool weather, back in the spring, I couldn’t coax him to go out to the lake and it’s been months since we visited the marina. Not cost-effective, paying a slip fee without using the thing, especially on retiree income when other expenses are beckoning.
Tried to give the boat gratis to my brother-in-law in Virginia, but being landlocked, he declined. So we have an ad up at sailtexas.com, a good site for news of the coastal and lake racing schedules, for which the Catalina 22 has its own group, BTW. Take a look. Wanna buy a boat?
