For Sale: Wife Said SELL the boat!

[sailcruiser]

BlackOak, here's hoping the wife just wants less of a man cave or a bigger boat. If not I wish you the best of luck on terra firma. I have very much enjoyed your adventures. You are a great writer.

A PRADA or CHANEL brand dingy? <ducking> Mauritz

a wife normally never likes a man's mistress

Is one speaking from experience here...

No experience! Wiley Nelson's song lyrics in part:...If you got the money honey, I got the time... Mauritz

Black Oak. sorry to hear the bad news, of course what momma wants, momma gets. It has been a blast following your sailing adventures these last few months. At least she did not tell you the bike had to go. Please keep us all posted on your travels and I wish you the best in the selling of your boat.....Cheers and a cool one on me anytime your near Cape Canaveral, Fl ...

As the owner of a boat that was SOW (Sale Ordered by Wife ) ones loss is anothers gain and you look to have a nice boat. I hope that someone gets to enjoy her ( the boat ) as much as you have!

Yes me personally - I'd upgrade the wife or go solo. Maybe there is a plus side to more than one wife. After all, the boat has a dinghy.

If my wife insisted I sell the boat, it would be gone in a new york minute.

Sorry to see you go but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

teknav - you're probably too young to remember, but those words are from a song by hank williams (the father, not the son) called 'honky tonkin'.

[endoftheroad]

both different songs

[whatever]

And then there are those women like me, that like the cruise more than the Capn does!

This is a picture of BlackOak's boat yesterday at sunset, His boat is to the right in the picture, his anchor light is on.
I would show this to him but he drove the wife home to another state yesterday and won't be back for a couple days.
She came to visit him last week and to see the boat for the first time and she "rained on his parade".

Well, anyway, if you buy his boat then this would be a picture of your backyard.
It was taken from my cockpit.

Minor grumpiness: Is it just me, or does anyone else have a wee bit of a twinge of a cringe when a sailor's boat listing quotes "sleeps six" or whatever bit of boat manufacturer brochure-ese twaddle was used to originally pimp the boat? I'd be more impressed to hear how a boat has both good sea and in-port berths.

And, from some other ads, are confirmed bachelors really scared of the boats that advertise having lots of "births" on board? I'd really avoid a boat with an "afterbirth". Sorry!
