I have sailed my Islander 36 in the Hampton Roads area for about 3 1/2 years (evenings, weekends, and vacations). My husband and I finally decided we wanted to become full time cruisers. The house and the boat are on the market and we came to Anchorage, AK to make some money for a cruising kitty. We are seriously looking at catamarans for a boat to cruise on long term.

So far it has been a great adventure and we are looking forward to being on the water.

Pretty hard to beat a great adventuer. The idea is it all is supposed to be fun so your off and satrting. Good luck with all the money soide of things I can see that it takes a lot of effort. If you make a plan and you start working it it might just work.

Lots of good stuff here to help you with all the details.

Aloha Soon,
Welcome aboard! Is your Islander a Freeport? I got to tour one that an owner was redoing and it looks like a nice layout for liveaboard.
Kind regards,
JohnL

I think the Islander Freeports are the newer models of ours. We really like the Islander and have had lots of fun on it, but we want something a little bigger to live on. We've discussed for a few years the pros and cons of cats versus monohulls and keep ending up back at cats.
