Greetings!
Just joined the site and wanted to introduce myself. I've been researching and studying all things
catamaran and sailing for two years now with the goal of being full time in the
Caribbean within the next two years. I have limited sailing experience and no
live aboard experience at all. Towards this deficit I have been "crewing" on cats in my general area and stepping aboard any
boat the owner will allow. I have pretty much decided I would like to get a
Lagoon 380 Owners Version. That is subject to change as I learn more and more about different
boats. I have begun liquidating all the stuff I used to think was vital to a "successful" life.
My plan is to sell everything and then buy the
boat,
live aboard while any necessary outfitting is done by me, and then sail around the
Caribbean in search of worthy causes that need a hand. I'm currently a short-term missionary and spend the majority of my time in
Haiti. I have been just about every where in the Caribbean from the
Bahamas to
Barbados and the South American
west coast. I know myself well enough to realize I would not be happy residing in
Haiti full time, or any where for that matter. Hence the live aboard cat.
My residence is near San Antonio so sailing opportunities are limited to area lakes or the
Gulf Coast, 3 hours away. I look forward to being a
member of this community and receiving feedback and input from others as I post inquiries. So many things in the
marine industry have changed just in the two years I've been researching what I plan on doing, especially in
electronics, that I'm trying to remain open minded to everything.
Thanks for being part of such a great resource!
In His
Service,
Tommy
