Sold my sailing yacht and received the money this weekend. Had her for 11 years but advancing years and creaky joints meant difficulty handling her. Not to mention some balance issues, not the best thing to have at sea. So as the expression goes, I have swallowed the anchor.
But to say that I will miss sailing her is an understatement - the toy car and motorbike dont amount to a string of beans in comparison to sailing in a stiff breeze with spray and the occasional wave over the deck.
Yes I know that there are far more serious problems affecting people in this time of illness and virus, but I am still fed up.
