Boat being moved to land = cheaper fees.
Sorry life has taken you guys in this direction. Praying things were different and hoping Mark and you can enjoy the good times you have left having some fun together doing whatever he is able to do. Life sucks sometimes.Let's go back a week, this is what has happened in my neck of the woods.
Debating signing for another year at the marina. Talking to hubby about the boats. He said what boats, then recovered the memory of them.
Contarct to sign comes, price increase again, now over 1k a month for the big boat, around 1500k for both, marina fees.
I talked to hubby said let's sell, use the money to go to a nice hotel on the water.
He AGREED shocked me! His confusion is worse, dangerous to have him on a boat.
So Tuesday decide to sale, Wednesday, contact 3 brokers, by Friday pick one. He goes checked out the boat, gives suggestions, #1 empty all stuff, mini house.
Non stop texting, phone calls, etc setting all up. hired a crew to strip clean the boat. And polish etc, after we empty it.
Wednesday, have friend set up to "babysit" dogs and hubby, feeding etc.
Other friend and I head to the boat in her forester, 530am.
11 hours later, one totally packed forester, we head home. Get home 8pm.
Exhausted, all stuff sitting in garage, until I am ready to tackle.
The amount of room left. Just enough for my feet.

sorry to hear that the boat's time has come to an end. I know how much work you did and i'm sure it's not half of what you did do .He AGREED shocked me! His confusion is worse, dangerous to have him on a boat.
It is a difficult decision, but it sounds like the right one to make, before any boat mishaps occur (more than the mishap of you, your arm and the dogs going into the water in .. was it February ... a few years ago? ...)He is not in the walk away problem yet. At this time pure confusion. Simple tasks, ie fill the water bowls, walks 5 steps into the kitchen, and mission gone.
At this time, sleeping excessively, day and night, tends to be "lazy" couch sitter. I hope he does not become a sundowner, awake at night asleep during the day.
Boat concern, everytime he went to get off he could not pick the safe way, ie based on tide level. I always went with him, had to firmly say go this way. Put alarm on the door in case he did go try to get off during the night.
Now just hope they sell.
Lol March 5th 2022, darn cold water. still a total blank from putting my foot on the boat, to opening eyes under the water. winter coat, pants, shoes still on my feet.It is a difficult decision, but it sounds like the right one to make, before any boat mishaps occur (more than the mishap of you, your arm and the dogs going into the water in .. was it February ... a few years ago? ...)

Oh, I am so sorry to hear this sad news. I know it's very serious; you and your sister will be in my prayers.Oh @addy1 , I'm very sorry about hubby's increased confusion. I understand your decision to sell the boas, too great a risk. My Dad had a very large boat, he had an " incident" and wisely recognized it was time to sell. Sad, an era over, but many good memories .
I've had sad news, 3 weeks ago my baby sister went in to have her gall bladder removed and they found advanced ovarian cancer It has truly knocked the wind from my sails and any creative ideas I had for our yard and garden are on hold for now.
Thank you for your prayers. Yes, we're pretty much reeling from the news.......going in for outpatient gall bladder surgery, to aggressive ovarian cancer which has spread. Been reading and the majority of ovarian cancer diagnosis is made when it's fairly advanced, thinking we need to do better.Oh, I am so sorry to hear this sad news.
