Well, I traded my bike. I am now the proud owner of a 16' Fireball sailboat. Its from the 70s, but is in great shape. I will need to do some sanding and painting, but its all just grunt work. No complicated mechanics.
It was hard to let the bike go. But the guy who took it rebuilds bikes, so I know it wont be wasted. He is thinking of turning it into a bobber. I hope I can see it when its done.
For now, I'll be sailing.
This will be my last post on this blog. I hope to start another chronicling my boat adventures.

Trade Show
I saw a sailboat on Kijiji that I liked, so I took a chance and emailed the owner to ask if he wanted to trade. It seems he is a bit of an opposite to me. He rebuilds bikes (Mostly Harleys) and bought a sailboat to try something new. I used to sail and bought a bike to try something new. Both of us have reached an impasse. So, the trade seems to work for each of us. I am going tomorrow to see the boat, but it seems a good trade overall. Saturday may be my last day as a bike owner.
