Looking Forward to Enjoying the Cruiser Lifestyle

[29Degrees]

Hi We are Colette McMurran and David Rennox and live in Hastings Ontario. We have decided that in 7 years we are going to retire to the Carribean and live on at least a 40 ft. sailboat. Over these years we plan on learning several things including sailing (I don't know how as yet), spanish, as well as what things are useful on a boat. We think that learning small motors and sail repair would be useful as well.

Thanks for having us, and are looking forward to making friends here.
