Just Beginning
Hello'

My wife and I are just beginning our journey. We are in the process of trying to buy a Endeavour 43 ketch. We have a long road ahead of us but can't wait to get started. Looking forward to talking to and meeting members.

Thanks
Mike and Amy

Re: Just Beginning
Hi Mike and Amy and welcome to the forum.

If you haven't been lurking already this place is a great resource. My just beginning was over 40 years ago and I still learn lots on the forum. It's my go to place for tech questions.

So where do you plan to start your boating careers?

Re: Just Beginning
Hey Skipmac,

Thanks for the welcome. We are in Virginia Beach right now. So that is where we will start. We have a long road ahead of us but we can't wait to start. We have a two year plan before we will be ready to head south for good. I will tell the story one day of how this all came together. but I just want to say this. NEVER stop believing in miracles because they do still happen! More on that later.
Thanks

Howdy and Welcome Aboard CF Mike and Amy!

Many years ago I seriously considered the Endeavour 43 as a possible liveaboard cruiser. It is very roomy inside.

Good luck on your boat purchase, and Bon Voyage on the Forum and the water.
