Sold to the highest bidder from Santa Barbara
So the time has come. I have sold the O’Day. It is a little sad to see her go but she is going to a good home. Actually, she is staying at the same location where I kept her but a nice couple from Santa Barbara will be taking over for me starting tomorrow. It will be hard to drive by and see her when she’s no longer mine but sounds like I will still be invited from time to time to sail as a guest.
As for this blog, I will continue to write (hopefully posting more consistently then I have been) about sailing as I already have other plans for getting into other sailboats. Thanks for everyone who have read and wrote to me about this blog. I hope to keep you all updated with more sailing adventures to come.
Fair winds to you all.

Wow! That’s big news! You introduced me to sailing on the O’Day. I am sad to hear she is no longer yours. Thanks for all the time you took me out on the O’Day. What are your new plans to get our on the water? Sailing club?

Congratulations and well done. You sure learned a lot about sailing and boats in the time you’ve had her at least since I discovered your blog. Tis said this is one of the two best days in a sailor’s life. When he sells the one he has and when he buys the next one. Do you have any prospects for your next boat ? If you don’t just have to have your own boat - renting is less expensive and you can sail a boat you otherwise couldn’t own. I wish you well.

Thanks for all the effort you put into this site. I’ve enjoyed it since before you had it at oday22.com. We bought our boats around the same time, and your projects helped me with mine.

If you’re not sailing an o’day anymore, can I have the domain name back? I might use it someday.
BTW, I’ve enjoyed following your blog. I still have my o’day 22 and still haven’t sailed as much as you have.
