Let it be known to the naysayers that the first guy to come view my 1986 Monk 42, for which I was asking $180,000 Cdn, paid me $175,000. He saw the value and appreciated the top condition of my vessel. That's about $135,000 USD for my American friends. Anyway, she's sold. Fortunately, he's slipless for a couple of weeks. Thus I get to enjoy her for a bit longer. I also offered to captain her down the Trent-Severn Waterway with him to her new home in Mississauga. That'll be a bitter-sweet finale.
