Great post!
In the slip across from me here in Key West is a Cal 27 that cost less than many of us pay for insurance. It is owned by two delightful young lady's in their mid twenties. They are half way through the great loop (started in Michigan), have been to the Bahamas, and are working here for a couple of months to earn enough to do the second half of the loop. Their blog is
KATIE & JESSIE | - Aboard Lovely Louise -

I believe the would agree that it isn't the boat, it is the adventurous spirit of the boaters that counts.

As for me, 5,863 miles at an average of 7.5 MPH over the last 10 months in my very modest 1978 Marine Trader 36. I leave Wednesday for the Bahamas.

Think smaller, less expensive, pay cash, and go as soon as you can.
