Hello,
I'm a new mom who recently had to go back to
work. I did the harsh math and discovered that I can expect to spend about 2 (waking) hours a day with my baby on week days. That is so not enough.
When my husband and I travel or watch movies, TV and youtube, we also say "why don't we live here/there?" Last fall we finally decided to say "Let's go."
We have a 5 year plan to make this thing happen and I'm excited for our execution. My husband has spent quite a bit of time on boats including a season working on a
fishing tender in
Alaska when he was younger. I grew up on the shore, but always looking out at the
water. We're both rusty and will be joining our local sailing club as soon as the baby is old enough to ride along.
We've decided to start with the Great Loop and a
motor boat, since it will allow us to test out
boat life for us, the baby and our
pets before committing to the cost of a
bluewater sailing
catamaran - it must be a
catamaran as I have some phobias which make monohulls untenable - and casting off for foreign shores.
I know five years is going to fly by, and I'm so excited to cast off, get out there and explore the world.
