Hi Jim;
My wife and I are marooned on a little "island" called Bullhead City. We are on the Colorado River very near the meeting of California, Arizona and Nevada. We are in a transition zone between three different types of desert. The drought is certainly all over the West.
My wife and I have the same dream: she wants to live all over the world so she can learn the languages and customs and cultures. Me, I want to explore. 70% of the Earth is water. Why waste too much time on the 30% land?
I don't have a lot of sailing experience and my wife has none. Neither of us is worried, though.
As for a plan it is kind of fluid at this point but the end goal is the same: travel the world and live all over.
My wife is from Brazil; were going there. Galapagos and Easter Island and Australia and New Zealand and Antartica. Round the Cape of Good Hope and the Horn. I am sure there are many places that we'll love that we never knew we wanted to see.
My wife and I love wood. The extra work would be a joy to us. But a steel hull would make Antartica possible or at least safer. We both like trimarans, too. Buy or build? Who knows? I have a name picked out but I don't want to risk bad luck renaming a boat.
Eight years left in "prison"; I sympathize but myself I am going for the breakout. As we speak I am tunneling with a spoon. A journey of a 1000 miles begins with a single step.
