Yes, that Phoenix, the one in the middle of the desert.
I’ve been lurking for the past year or so, and finally decided to register. My husband and I are planning to retire early (both in our late 30’s now, no kids) with the intention of full time
liveaboard cruising in the next 4-5 years. He’s a helicopter pilot who grew up
racing dinghies in
England and was an RYA instructor, I grew up in New
Mexico and just knew that sailboats existed.
For the last year, I’ve been working on
learning theory and we bought a Snipe for me to learn in (Tempe Town Lake for those who know the area). Once Covid gets under control we intend to do several charters so I can get a better feel for the lifestyle, and if that goes well we’ll sell our house,
head to a coast and find a
boat.
I’ve already learned a lot lurking on the forum, and I’m keen to continue
learning the ropes, er,
sheets.
