G'day Mrs, and welcome to CF... hope you find the community as useful as many newbies do. Meanwhile, you should consider
buying a lottery ticked asap, for scoring a
live aboard berth in SoCal required fantastic luck and you might as well spread it around!
Do fill in your details in your user CP profile, and tell us what sort of 46 foot
boat you are sailing. The more we know about you and your
boat, the better we are able to help when you ask questions.
Enjoy the boat and the
live aboard life. Ann and I have lived aboard and cruised for 35 years now and still find the life aboard a good one.
Cheers,
Jim
