Jollytime,
actually, this has been a dream of mine for years. I' have always been a water person and the best time I think I ever had was bringing a 26' sailboat from Old Hickory lake down to where we live here near Waverly. I brought my son with me on part of the voyage and it was a treat, so much to see on the river system.  But, back to your statement.  Yes, my wife and I plan on cruising once we can shed the jobs long enough to do it. We plan on something between 38' and 44'. I have found the trawler I want, and one day,Lord willing, I'll be able to buy it.  From the looks of things, I may be able to cruise more than my wife. she has a business in town and keeps pretty busy, especially this time of year.

Why for sale?  My priority list is differnet than my wife's. She says, just keep it till we buy the trawler. She never worries about anything. I'm the one trying to finish our old house so we can sell it in two years. I'm the worry wort that has to have everything in order, all layed out and ready to go, double checked three times,etc.   I just have a greater comfort zone when I don't have to much on my plate.  Right now, I have two plates full. Who knows, we may have it a while, but if I can sell it, I'll feel a little breathing room for two years before the next big boat. I still have two other boats to be on the water with.
