1. Learn to lower my mast then get under bridges and out of the river to the open ocean.
2. Every other thing needed to be confident for no 1. above.

Re: 2012 - What are your Plans / Dreams / Fuzzy Intentions?
1. Finally retire (this will be my third try as folks keep offering me good money - but I'm determined this time).
2. Buy a boat. I've got plenty of money for what I want and have found two good boats already. I'll be able to move quickly when the time comes.
3. Get said new boat to the Great Lakes and cruise.
