I will definatly go back to a full keel. I am looking in the 36 - 41' range. Hans christian 38 is a dream, I have looked into the islander freeport 41 and really like the layout. I definatly want something with a pilot house, or a full coverage dodger. I had a yawl before, and now I am looking to a ketch or a cutter type rig. Recently I have been looking at boats made of steel or ferro-cement. I like the heavy displacement, and I was very suprised to see how many other cruisers out there have boats of this matierial.
Boat choice will change depending on if I can unload my home at a decent price. As we all know the market is awful right now.
As to where I will be heading... Around the glode westward. I keep a pretty open itineray, but I loved Mexico, and look forward to the south pacific. The wife wants to see parts of europe so we will have to head up that way. As long as I am able,happy, and have some coin in my pockett we will keep going. We are selling all posessions, and both our businesses, Keeping our rental property for extra spending cash, and also a for a home base in case the trip has to end.
Cheers
D
