What's the happiest two days of a boat-owner's life?
I recently sold my sailing boat in the middle of the first lockdown, much to my surprise. Was slightly sad at seeing her go; we'd been together for 15 years. Absolutely don't miss all the bills, the constant "I never used her" thoughts and constant work that's needed. But most of all there's no annual haul-out and bottom clean + surprises.Actually, it is "What is the second happiest day of a boat-owner's life?" - the day he buys a boat.
The happiest day is when he sells it....
(FTR - I have had mine for nearly 30 years...)

Though I acquired these a couple of years after starting to dive, they are my favourites--
--Apollo Bio Tank Lock (never have a tank slip, no wetting of straps needed).
--Spring fin straps-- No buckles, especially with gloves on in cold water.
