So in 2016, I decided to retire. Jan has been retired since 2010 and reminded me constantly of how great the retired life was. We wanted to buy a sailboat and spend our retirement, or at least a large portion, cruising. So, a year before I intended to retire we put a plan into motion where we would sell our house, all our belongings, our previous Catalina sailboat, and purchase a boat large and comfortable enough to take us wherever we wanted to go. We sold the house in June of 2017, purchased our dream boat in July, and I retired at the end of September.
Family and friends have been asking us if we were ever going to do a blog to document our adventures along the way. We always wanted to do it, but never found the time (or had the know-how). Over the Christmas holidays our son-in-law set up this site and gave us the nudge. For the past 18 months we have learned a lot had some wonderful experiences. What we hope to do is to share some of those as well as some of the cool adventures coming up.
