Dream started in 2003 I guess, not for cruising, I had no idea then what that was, but just wanting to learn how to sail. But, we moved away from any large bodies of
water that same summer and didn't return until 2006.
Learned to sail in July of 2007, second time ever being on a sailboat, we did a week long "Learn-N-Cruise"
ASA Bareboat charter course out in the
San Juan islands of
Washington state.
Sailed on other people's
boats for a year gaining experience, and even got a volunteer position as a
skipper on a 65ft schooner on lake union, WA.
Bought our own
boat in Dec of 2008 in Corpus Christi, TX. We quit our jobs in Jan 2009 and moved aboard it and spent 1 year full time working and living on it in a boatyard in TX.
Got it finished (finally) in Jan 2010 and have been cruising the
Gulf Coast for a little over 5 months now.
Not sure I stuck with your format request, but there you go.
I've dreamed of sailing my entire life but it hasn't been until this year that I've actually set a goal. It will probably be 3 years until I can start cruising, but I can manage it (with a lot more difficulty) in two if I get really impatient 
Sooner rather than later... I hope
