Going from a 4 – bedroom/3 – bath house to a sailboat isn’t going to be easy, but we’ve got to start somewhere. But where?
If you want to downsize to living on a boat and eventually want to go cruising,,,,where do you start? For us,,,I think we’ve gotta start by selling our house, getting rid of stuff we don’t need and won’t use again and taking a look at our consumerism overall to start the road to simpler life. So,,,we started out by getting the house ready to be put on the market.
After all the hard work, we’re ready to put the house up for sale and start looking at moving the family on the boat in the summer. That’s going to make this dream of ours get real quick,,,,I’m not sure we know what we’re in for,,,,but we’ll find out.

Wow! Time for reality to sink in…good luck
We’re working on it, house in escrow and we’re moving stuff to the boat, retirement coming.
Very exciting
thanks, we’re trying
I concur with you when you commented ‘should have done this 5 years ago?’ Our house never looked as good as it did when we put it on the market.
Hope your home moves quickly.

We’re in escrow, hopefully we can stay that way
Bet you sell real quick. How very exciting to be making the dream a reality! I start my refit this weekend and will post pics and story by sunday.
