How does one write a final blog post?

Short and Sweet, perhaps?

As some already know, SV Athena is sailing on with a new captain.
Owning her for over 4 years and living on her for the past 3.5 years has provided experiences like no other I could imagine. It was not an easy decision to move off, and then move on...
Even the process of letting go provided an amazing platform for looking at myself and learning.
My life continues to provide new platforms from which to grow from, even as I'm jumping off.
Perhaps my favorite platform is that four-letter word... love.
It is the love that I have for myself, my family, friends, co-workers, acquaintances, and those I don't know, from where I now jump to the other side of the Earth.
Thailand, here I come!!
Well, you know what they say... Endings are really just new beginnings.

Good luck moving back ashore. I find that I still miss living aboard, but I love having enough room for my books and stuff. Now I'm considering getting an RV and wandering around for a few years.

I will miss your Athena blogs, but will enjoy hearing about your experiences in Thailand.

Jen,
Best of luck to you in Thailand! I will certainly miss new posts about your adventures on Athena though.

Someday soon I hope to buy a sailboat and start out on my own journey. Bristol 29.9's have risen to the top of my list because of your blog. I've really enjoyed it.
