| I agree, and see what you are saying. I have sailed allot, just not a Cat, and not so big. So yes a portion will be to learn the sailing. Not afraid of the big winds but fully respect them being caught out before. Just being realistic in saying much easier to motor out to a spot and hang out for a weekend to get off the dock. or go exploring, not to say if the day was right I would not throw a sail up. Mine is more of a question if buying sooo early and living in one spot as a full time live aboard still fully attached to land jobs is too much. I do believe we will do plenty of sailing but still have to think of it as our home still with major connections to land. While it would give some certain instant freedoms from land, it still would not be my intention to turn into a 100% cruiser life style. Still putting in 40-60 hour work weeks think that allot of times a relaxing sail or motor would be great but also just coming home to the "house" and relaxing like I do now. There is no doubt in my mind I would not do as much sailing as I would like to or will do upon retirement. |
