Abandon Ship!!

ABANDON SHIP!!!
I'm walking away from the boat! 
 It's too much money and work for too little reward.  The boat has deteriorated significantly just sitting in this environment for 2 years, and remaining here will only cause it to deteriorate more unless someone is here to do continuous maintenance. Plus all the water that leaked into the boat from the rain coming in thru the leak around the mast boot and a leaky porthole filled the bilge and was over an inch above the cabin floor.  I don't know what condition the engine and transmission are in, as the water in the bilge came up to the oil filter at the bottom of the engine, which is above the transmission. 
 All in all it just isn't worth fixing up and sailing all the way to San Carlos.  I can buy a smaller and newer used boat in San Carlos which I can single-hand and either leave in San Carlos or trailer back to AZ, all for less than it would cost me to put this one back into reasonable sailing condition and sail it to San Carlos.
 So I'm going back home to AZ in early Jan.  I've had the boat for 7 years and got 5 years of good sailing out of it and had some wonderful adventures and saw lots of interesting and beautiful (and not-so-beautiful) places, so it was a decent expense.
