Helicopter pilot, but still a Sailor

Hello all, Navy helicopter pilot here. My wife and I lived aboard a 38' Beneteau sloop in Puerto Rico and San Diego back in the early 2000's.

I am nearing Navy retirement and we have been itching to get back on the water with our two kids.

The first time around, what we really wanted was a trawler, but as a new Navy Ensign, it simply wasn't in the budget. We're considering boat schooling and doing the Great Loop with the kids starting in a couple years.

Plenty of time to figure out what we want in a boat this time, and how to manage the finances. This pandemic has made the lenders skittish, even if rates are historically low.

Looking forward to absorbing some wisdom from this august body!
