It is official, we have sold Never For Granted. Chris left early yesterday morning to deliver the boat to Pensacola. He is meeting the new owner in St. Pete, and then they will take the boat together to Pensacola. He anchored last night in Charlotte Harbor which is just North of Pine Island, and today he is planning on getting to Tampa Bay. He left Charlotte harbor this morning and is about 3 miles off shore with the wind in his face, which makes for a slow passage so if he can't make it to Tampa Bay before twilight he will head into Sarasota. Then St. Pete tomorrow.
It feels so strange to have him out there on his own. I know he is perfectly capable of single handing that boat, but it still feels like I have abandoned him. It was either we all go with him to Tampa, which would have required us to take linens for all of us, more food, and clothes, which we had already off loaded. Then the kids and I would have had to rent a car to drive back to Naples. He choose the less complicated option of going by himself, and it does make the most sense, but it still feels wrong.

The name of our new boat and home. Our Las Vegas minister said this to us when we got married, and it is something that you have to work at every single day....not taking your loved ones for granted.
