Hi All,
New guy here looking to do some research and see if the cursing life is within budget, and maybe cast-off one day.
Living on and cruising in a boat as been a dream of mine for going on 10 years now. Nothing was ever set in stone and it remained a lofty pie-in-the-sky sort of vision that I could achieve once financially independent. Fast-forward to today, of the few benefits of this whole Covid situation is that I may have the opportunity to work 100% remote. This got me thinking, maybe its time for a change?
My current status is land-locked, so if this vision were to become reality, it would mean selling nearly everything and moving aboard. Obviously, this represents a huge lifestyle shift into something admittedly I am largely ignorant of to-date, so you can bet I'm trying to cross every 'T' and dot every 'I' from a planning perspective.
As for now, the plan is to spend some time asking questions and checking posts to help with planning and see if this could be a reality. Looking forward to hearing experiences and opinions of everyone, and would be very welcome to any resources or links you could provide relating to budgeting, planning, or any useful lessons learned from the old salts on here who have 'been there, done that'!
The vision for now is a Nordhavn 46 if that helps any, but who knows how that will change.
