Decisions. Decisions.

I was contacted yesterday by someone who knows of a Catalina 22 for sale. If you’re
unfamiliar with sailing, the Catalina 22 is a nice little sailboat that has a roomy cabin for
its size, and is, in my opinion, all the boat a sailing couple really needs... assuming they
don’t have kids.

If you’ve seen my sailing pages, you know how much work I put into the Beast of
Burden less than a year ago. It’s a tough decision to give up a boat after all that loving
care. I was very proud of the results. Problem is, I want more interior space so I can
join in on those out-of-state gatherings and so Janice and I can spend the occasional
quiet weekend in clear blue Florida waters. I’ve sailed various boats, and I have settled on the Catalina as having the most bang for the buck. The cabin has more usable
space than some larger heavier boats, and it just appeals to me in general. There are
two of them at the yacht club, and I’ve admired them often. My truck is a little too small
to tow it, though, so If I buy it, there will be some problem solving to do.

I’ll keep you posted.
