Hello All!
I am Len, very new to boating. I have wanted a boat for as many years as I can imagine, and now that I am in my mid 40s, the kids are leaving, the income is increasing, and the expenses are dwindling. I don't own a trawler yet, as my first boat is my 26ft 1978 Pacemaker purchase about a month ago. My wife and I still have 2 kids at home, and are seriously contemplating making the move to a trawler live aboard as the last 2 kids start to transition to college/adult life. Figure sell the house, use the equity to buy a boat and live off of it for a few years to save $$ and do something different.
It is great reading all the stories here so far, I've been reading the articles in the "live aboard" section about the pros and cons.
I joined the "Long Island Sound" Group, but it seems pretty quiet there. If there is anybody that could help me out finding places to go, it would be appreciated. We dock our boat at the Groton Sub Base, an advantage to being in the military still.
Thank you all for having me,
Len
