They sold everything they owned, cars furniture etc including all the real-estate, then bought a 35 foot catamaran (that they talked about it for several years) and set sail. They said and I agree the cat sailing platform with it’s large, stable, comfortable main living room area makes a lot of sense for a coastal cruiser, full time, live-aboard situation. I could see myself in one and with all the islands and shore line of North and South America could be happy for years. I don’t know if I’m up for true blue water sailing, but time would tell and if so, Tahiti here I come!Mike Yukonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615350717597229013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-1618155600347054002015-10-17T21:06:13.513-04:002015-10-17T21:06:13.513-04:00I'm now looking at boats capable of crossing o...I'm now looking at boats capable of crossing oceans.

People think it's just like driving a car. It isn't, of course, so they get disillusioned quickly. People who sail tend to more research.<br /><br />However, Florida is full of people who thought they might want to sail around the world. They sail down the coast just fine, but discover they can't make the jump across the Gulf Stream. Many of these boats end up for sale. FL also has a lot of elderly who want to pass on their boat to someone who'll take care of it and keep it going. <br /><br />I don't qualify for another passport because of family. There are countries that basically sell passports, but they are looked at with some suspicion around the world.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-51986913160472825152015-10-17T03:46:28.139-04:002015-10-17T03:46:28.139-04:00I do like your lovely wife's thinking... yes y...I do like your lovely wife's thinking... yes you will need a rather bigger more substantial boat...
