Newbe but not new

[insanityranch]

Hello everyone I am Kevn and I am new to this site
Ill try not to look to much like a new-be and offend anyone right away or at all...
if some one could direct me to the right area I would be grateful
I am 54 and own my own business, and getting ready to go through a divorce after 24 yrs... I want to relocate back to the Ventura area where I grew up and I am looking for a live-aboard, to rent,,, however I have no interest in using the boat for anything other then living on, so I only need one that floats I do not intend to leave the dock.
it would be just for me and my bull dog and then my little ( 13) girl every other weekend
Is this something that does not sound to crazy ?

Kevin, Greetings and Welcome from SW Florida! You should at least give cruising a try...you might be surprised at how much fun it is.

Thanks for the welcome
In My younger years I had a buddy that grew up on the water in Santa Barbara and for years we would go every Wed for Wet Wed and Sundays for salty Sundays and sail and race I was just there to be ballast, I do love it and have always wanted to get back on the water and sail, wife said No way! ( did not even know she new how to sail for the first 10 years of marriage, as she grew up in Ventura also) but I have to start with Baby steps as I work a lot I only need something to sleep on for now. a few days a week (4-5) I would be working out of town 2-3 days a week
But someday that is the Plan but for now a Beggar cant be a chooser
and I don't want to ask for to much, But I have the need and it has been there for a very long time ....so .. it is just someday for now..
