I'm new to the forum and just wanted to introduce myself. After living in South
Florida, I recently retired and moved to Central
Florida. My seventeen-year old son lives with his mother in South Florida, and I see him every other weekend, so I'm going to be living here for another year until he finishes high
school. Then...I'm planning on taking the plunge that I've wanted to for the past twenty years. I'm planning on
buying a sailboat and
living aboard for a few years. My son is going to take a "gap year" between high
school and college and we're going to sail together for a year. I know many will think I'm crazy, but I've never been on a sailboat in my life. Over the next year, I'm going to obtain a lot of
training and gain several levels of
certification before setting out. I've done a ton of reading, here and elsewhere, and I intend to ask a thousand questions here before I set sail. Wish me luck!
