Dawn and I are making plans to let go the mooring next year as well. We have been making plans for years. Sold the house, moved into an apartment 7 years ago. Hired and started training my replacement at work 3 years ago. Bought a 1996 Tobago 35 18 months ago and sailed it home from Martinique to St. John River Valley in Canada. We are now working hard on boat, on finances, and on necessary knowledge base.
Hope to push off next November. Would love to compare notes.
