Because it was time.
After20K NM, we had the opportunity to sell her for more than we paid. For us to continue cruising her we would have had to put another $100K for improvements for the area we would be going. We also found that its far less money to travel to “Exotic Places” than cruise on your own boat.
Dont get me wrong, we had a blast cruising over the past 7 years to places very few people actually would go to. And I would encourage anyone to experience it for as long as you can.
We also found over the years that most people who own a boat actually use the boat much less than we did. I would estimate less than 10 percent of boat owners actually cruise long distance like we did.
So if your not using the boat for what it was intended for, maybe you should consider selling it and moving on to something you would. We certainly look forward to the travels of the new owners of our beloved “Pairadice” and we plan to continue our future travels to far away places also.
