I sure feel for both you and Hamburking. As he says, best to keep active. BTW you probably know you have a fairly well-known boat in certain circles (those who love S&S et al.) I have never sailed one but I hear they are great. For 4k if the
engine is running and its sailing, that's not too bad. Nothing can sail you away from heartache, or
rib pain, but it can fill your days with some fun to help fill the gaps and keep your mind on the better days ahead. I'm on the opposite side and so I have no
advice on Fla., sorry. BTW, not sure if you saw this but I remembered I saw your (model of) boat here:
