| Ithica
Well you can do what ever you set your mind to. However, I on the other hand am more of a realist. Case in point... You are new to this. Ithica is like frozen from mid November--at least end of march. I have a teacher friend who lives there, and yes there is lots of ice. Your wife sounds like she may be pregnant; in that case I would wait till the baby is born and see how she feels about living on a boat in the far north. Also this will give you both some exposure to the area and its pros and cons as far as living in a sailboat. A 40 footer is big enough ( maybe too big for a newbe) but I am not sure how the marinas are set up for winter live aboards. I do know NY. is not Texas and they are more controling as far as who does what without paying. I am from Long Island now in PA. I suggest that you guys go there and live for a year than deceide what you would really enjoy doing. After a year you can go buy the boat. Oh one more thing, in the land of woodstock everything is acceptable to the people and hippies; not so with the police.. Hope this helps.. Let me know, maybe me and some friends from there will hook up with you and party, maybe at the Grassroots fest in July a 4 day camp out concert every year...Viking Blood
