Mike -- sorry to hear it but same thing happened to me but i was
within months of leaving - we lived together for almost 8 years - took
sailing lessons together, seached and bought a boat together, planned
together, learned to work as a team, and while she was having trouble
working i supported her, and when she said she needed one more year
before going cruising i agreed and held off as i lost my job and
decided to retire early - then she got a job promotion and a 6 figure
income - when that occured she said bye bye as the money was more
important to her - i even took my time in selling the house and now
have to sell it in a down market -
but i did a few things right as the boat is able for short hand
sailing - but i had not prepared mentally to sail alone and now
working on that - i sail as much as i can single handed now to prep
myself -
by the way my house just sold and i am trying to sell my furniture -
my boat, a Jeanneau DS40, is almost ready to go - just need to add
some solar panels and an ssb - i will go up the east coast to get out
of the hurricane area and then to the islands for the winter -
i know from wence you speak and can only say good luck with your boat
search -
chuck and s/v soulmates
