Even the best thought out plans need to remain fluid when you are talking about boats. Our plan to sell N3522 - La Tempestad and build a new trawler was recently interrupted with that thing called "work". After transferring to San Diego about 10 years ago and enjoying the ability to vacation aboard M-F then returning home for weekends, I received word that a new assignment awaits me at our facility close to our home. While most people would welcome a reduced commute (100 miles to 15 miles) we are viewing this with very mixed emotions. While it is still unclear how often or how many days per week we will be able to work out of SD we know it will be less than 50% of the time. This has put into question what to do about N4? With the N35 working out just fine for a few nights per week we are questioning the rational for selling a true diamond in the rough that we have dialed in to spend 2 or three times the amount for a new build that we may not be able to use even as a part time live aboard. We had thought N4 would be our last boat and take care of retirement cruising seven years from now but now we are not sure.
Please excuse my rambling but thought those who have faced similar situations would enjoy responding with their views. Thanks
