As a kid, I spent 5 years on a CT-41 cruising throughout Central America, doing what most can’t or won’t imagine. This fueled my imagination, jump starting creativity and giving me experiences I can’t ever replicate.
Fast forward through the boring stuff…(I started working after college) and never stepped back onto a sailboat for nearly 25 years.
But adventure always seemed to follow me (it’s a mindset) and I found that climbing, mountaineering and adventure travel fit.
After some intense experiences on various business trips and having already visited a bunch of different countries; something inside me knew that cruising and a cruising sailboat with my family was going to happen.
After three years of research and negotiation, we bought a boat (2014)! and in November of 17 we sold that boat.
In February of 18 we bought another sailboat. In April of 18 we sold our home and moved most of our stuff into permanent storage. In July of 18 I retired and we moved onto the sailboat permanently.
YES, we lived on the dock till November of 19. Don’t be surprised when you see posts about me sewing, cooking and taking care of our kids. This is life and I’m not apologetic. I’m not a totally evolved househusband, but I love doing what I did to prep the boat for cruising.
