Hi to all!
I have been reading here for a long time. I finally joined a week or 2 ago, but until tonight was waiting for inspiration for my 1st post. I am through waiting for the inspiration! So....
I see the glow of retirement above the horizon; I think 2025 ( Lord willing and if my health holds out). I hope to talk my wife into spending some serious lengths of time on a boat travelling. I told my son he can stay at the house and we'll come back every couple months...
I registered last year (when the boating bug set in) on a couple sailboat forums. We went to the coast and looked at some sailboats (found a sweet 32' that the wife actually suggested buying! Fortunately it was sold to someone else QUICK!), but I just cannot see myself depending on the wind. The more I read, the more a trawler seems right.
I am reading here a lot. Eventually I will be posting some specific questions. Right now I keep flip-flopping between a trailerable boat (Ranger, Rosborough, etc.) or an older larger boat (Ford Lehman or Perkins engines- simple well built and last forever). I don't want to just be on a boat- I want to GO PLACES...
