An Adventure

It is happening! I will leave and live on the sea!. Finally.
It took years of planning and solving all kinds of questions.

Can I afford it?
Monohull or Cat?
Will I get lonely?
Does my wife come over?
My mother is 92 and needs care……

Well all step-by-step.

Got all the certificates but one. I need a HAM license. Well there is still time.

Finances are taken care of. Sold the house and some stuff. Probably will need storage for furniture I couldn’t sell and is in fact much too valuable for giving away to charity. But than there is money in the bank and with some luck I could manage for a couple of years. On the other hand I can do a lot to make some money. But that’s a worst-case scenario

Now the house has to be cleared. This is very hard to do. All the stuff for which I had plans. . . Now there is no later.

We are going to visit Martinique and also have a close look at boats. Cats are more comfortable, but monohulls give you the better sailing experience.

I bought a moisture meter. I’ll skip the survey. Just need a compression test for the engine and moisture measures for the hull. All the rest I can see as good as anyone I think.

Still a bit nervous, now I’ve taken steps with no return.
