Hello All
It's about time to bring myself, and the admiral, out in the open. I've been lurking in the dark as a guest on this site for the past 8-9 years, rest assured I'm not a creeper. It has been very informative reading posts pertaining to others experiences, questions, troubles, and ideas. Although we are not current owners, original time table would have been another 5 years but for various reasons the time table for ownership has been moved up to the next 12-18 months. Yeah for us but now we have to take all our ideas and thoughts and put them into action, a daunting task for sure. Over the next 6 months we need to create our must haves, wishlist, where we would like have our home port, and find a buyers broker. Then we can officially start the joyful and agonizing search for the beginning of the next chapter of our lives. Once we find it, our cruising plans start with the first year cruising locally and discovering how we would want to cruise, what we need or want on the boat, and most importantly, building our boat handling skills. Once we accomplish that we want to do the great loop.
With that being said, please be gentle on us newbies!
