So the world is changing all the time and being one of those ancient children of the 60’s, its time to move forward a little differently.\u00a0 Being a sailor, yes, I have watched all my fellow blue water going-to-be’s religiously and painstakingly doing all the right things to assure a successful voyage – safety, comfort, knowledge, etc.\u00a0Then —- launch!\u00a0 We tried it with great success on the education side but couldn’t make headway on THE LIST<\/strong>.\u00a0 So in a moment (or 3) of complete insanity, we have decided our departure is on a boat that is already where we were headed (gotta like that no voyage at the beginning of the voyage)\u00a0– the Caribbean.<\/p>\n

No, the boat is not ready – well sorta – seems to work for a week or two at a time with charterers.<\/p>\n

No, we are not completely<\/em> ready – well sorta – we know lots<\/strong>, maybe too much?<\/p>\n

But the concept is like this.\u00a0 If a myriad of less experienced people have chartered our boat for 1 or 2 weeks and survived, surely we can board that same boat, enjoy the same wonderful experience for four to eight weeks lazing about the Caribbean while doing a little crunching getting ourselves and our boat ready to escape (did I say that?) the Caribbean\u00a0in order to execute the dreaded to do<\/strong> list stateside to be prepared for a truly grand Caribbean (or not)\u00a0experience —\u00a0or wherever.<\/p>\n

Time will help with what happens once we set off.\u00a0 Panama?\u00a0 Trinidad?\u00a0\u00a0The Pacific?\u00a0 Europe?\u00a0\u00a0 The Med?\u00a0 Hanging in the Carib?\u00a0 Or ?<\/p>\n

Once on the road, the possibilities are endless.\u00a0 Getting on the road is the hard part.\u00a0 So we\u00a0will start with a little pleasure, time to know our new condo,\u00a0followed by a northward passage, then?<\/p>\n

So the only question is getting on the road.\u00a0 When?\u00a0 Time and events will determine that.\u00a0 What we do know is when we are retired, we are sailing.<\/p>\n

Many ways to start a voyage.\u00a0 Many ways to start a retirement.\u00a0 So, we bought a home on the water.\u00a0 No, I mean ON<\/strong> the water, as in buoyant (hopefully).<\/p>\n

Keep the imagination alive and\u00a0the possibilities endless.<\/em><\/p>\n
