The Final Chapter

C and C 27

Symbol 41

C and C 35

All good things eventually come to an end and so too has our boating, at least on our own boat.

We arrived at a contract for the sale of the boat in Mid-May and returned to the boat on May 27 for a survey and sea trial the next day. As I expected, the survey and sea trial went very well. Other than the new battery I bought in Marathon failing there were no significant problems. The new owner took possession of the boat on June 25, 2015 and we spent a day with him the next week reviewing system operations and maintenance.

This is the first time we have not owned a boat we could go cruising on in over 40 years. During that time we’ve met lots of wonderful people and made many new friends. We’ve gotten to see parts of three countries (USA, Canada and the Bahamas) in a different way from most travelers and learned much about the history of the places we’ve visited. In all, we’ve traveled around 3,000 miles in the C&C 27 sailboat “Ecstasy”, 50,000 miles on the C&C 35 sailboat “Trader” and 16,000 miles in the Symbol 41 “Sun Cat”.

Its been a great experience!
