Today we closed on our business, a full 15 months since the first post on this forum. The house and all the belongings went in Jan 06. After a brief vacation, the boat search starts in earnest. Thanks to all for the inspiration and information to keep the dream alive. We WILL be cruising soon.

The first time in my life that I ever stood under canvas was when I raised it by myself on my newly purchased 40' boat.

Just take it slow (although it is kind of hard to make a sailboat go fast), use common sense, and watch the weather carefully. It's a great deal of fun.

Remember: Experience is something you get just after you needed it...

Patience was a talent I aquired many years ago, it was what kept it all alive over the last 5 years.

You'll do fine, learn at a pace you are comfortable with and have fun.

Amels are nice boats.
