Ljbuckers:
Start looking at/reviewing boats
for sale in
British Columbia.
Rejoin
Vancouver Rowing Club (must be the Yachting Section) ASAP. The longer you are a
member (of the Y section) the higher your priority in terms of getting a slip there. (However, you CANNOT live on your
boat at VRC!) Otherwise, great moorage in great location. VRC
membership has other rewards. (Yes, I am a longtime
member.)
Consider a smaller (36-41')
boat: much less expensive (initial
purchase, upgrades, moorage, maintenance) and easier to learn/handle.
