Hi all,
I have a mad plan for my retirement : cruise the caribbean !
The pitch is the following : buy a rather old trawler in a cheap place (Florida like) and then take some time (sequence of months) to visit the Caribbean's. And then sell the boat.
BTW I am European to far to cross the Atlantic, no appetite to do so. And don t want my boat to cross the Atlantic.
My questions:
- is it making sense ?
- has anyone done it ?
-if we stay around 30K can we have some kind of ok trawler (sea worthy and safe engine). Old GB .
-minimum size for a ship in the area for a couple in terms of sea
-can we sell after and where (Venezuela , Tobago, panama ?)
So ?
