Not really a discussion item, I suppose. But an interesting quandary.
My brother-in-law has had his Mainship up for sale for a while, and finally has a potential buyer. The potential buyer is inexperienced and eager to get into boating. All of the steps so far have been satisfactory, and the only thing left is the sea trial.
It was scheduled some time ago, and the buyer had to travel a good distance to get to where the marina is. He stayed overnight, and the sea trial is to occur today.
However, the wind is howling, the air temperature is 29°, and ordinarily my brother-in-law would not take the boat out of the slip. It has a lot of windage, and the marina is tight quarters. He does have thrusters, but he says it really is not a good day to take it out.
But the buyer insists upon the sea trial. A quandary indeed. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
