Getting Ready

Well, it's actually happening. After a year of planning, we're finally down  to our last few weeks in Phoenix. It seems very hectic right now. It turns out that selling everything you own to go live on a boat in the Caribbean is quite stressful ! We're still packing up the house & trying to sell some large items...it's a little overwhelming when I look around at what we still have to do. Our last day at work is June 30th. I think we'll be on the road by mid-July. That's when our new chapter begins. The plan is to road trip east in search of what will be our new home...Our new boat. We have looked at thousands of boats on line for a year & have a good idea of what we're looking for. Obviously, Arizona does not have much to choose from as far as sailboats go so...1st stop--Houston, Tx. We'll just keep heading east until we find the perfect boat. Once we find her we'll stay in that region learning everything about our boat, sailing her as much as possible.  If all goes according to plan, we will sail to the Bahamas in January or February.
Piece of cake right?
