I have a 2 year plan to get the
boat and start to
liveaboard. Everyone says I`m crazy also, but I have lived on my
Cal 29 for a 1 1/2 years so I know whats all involved for the most part. My immediate
family understands my motivations, but not exactly how it all works. I get the "are you crazy" from my coworkers.
For instance, while at
work the other night I got to talking to my coworkers(90%
women...I`m a nurse) and explain that I have a 2 year plan to "retire" and sail away. So the first question is...
"How much does it cost to do that?" As much as you got
"Do I have a lot of savings/investments?" No
"What about working/career" I`m not so much retiring as I`ve decided not to
work anymore...
Questions continue...
"What about your bills?" I don`t have any once my car is paid off on 12/09
"Kids" None of those either.
"Sailboats cost too much" Just depends on the vessel!
"What about money" Work when I need the money!
"Hurricanes" I`ll try to avoid as best as possible!
"Wife" She know s of my plan and she might join me....if not she will know where to find me!

"Insurance" Taking my chances...
"when will you come back home" I will be home...
The real world really has no idea of what we are all trying to do...
