Thanks for the comment.
I thought I...Hello Mike,<br /><br />Thanks for the comment. <br /><br />I thought I did explain why we are putting Irie up for sale now, or at least, I tried to do so. :-) In short: after all these years, we are ready for something different, and a less tiring/challenging way of life, albeit still an adventurous one, but one that is not weather dependent or boat focused. It is hard to point out the less glorious aspects of the cruising life on a blog, and keep pointing them out, since people mostly like to read the fun and interesting stuff. And, our "problem" is that we have way more (stress) going on in our lives than the usual cruiser and that is hard to combine with owning and taking care of a boat, running all the daily errands, and so on. <br /><br />Our initial plan was to sail all the way to Fiji and try to sell Irie there to a NZ or OZ audience and we might still do this, but the Raiatea broker has lots of contacts in New Caledonia, and this year they have changed the rules very positively in regards to selling and importing sailboats in French Polynesia.<br /><br />And yes, I will definitely keep blogging! The way we have chosen to live our lives - gypsies by sea or otherwise - will always provide enough entertainment and stories, I expect! I hope I can keep your interest. :-)Liesbethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402741679152508367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176248835541941998.post-63533237275346965702014-11-13T16:56:39.382-05:002014-11-13T16:56:39.382-05:00Thanks again for the blog.

However, what a surprise!<br />I hope you will say why you have made the decision now at some point in the future when it suits you to do so.<br />I find it mildly surprising that you put her up for sale in the most remote place you could find :-). Fiji, New Caledonia or beyond would have seemed (from here) to be better for selling.<br /><br />Anyway, all the best with it. I hope you will continue blogging no matter what.<br />Best wishes<br /><br />Mikedmmbrucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01765265554296270809noreply@blogger.com
