Hello, Friends. How was your weekend? We spent the entire weekend looking at and discussing sailboats. Seriously, it has been the only thing that we have talked about for months. Ha! And I am happy to announce – we found our boat! After spending several hours with her and the owner, we decided to make an offer. The offer was accepted, all that is left is an inspection and closing. Hopefully, everything will happen quickly and we can set sail this weekend.
Initially, we had discussed purchasing a boat that we could live aboard. However, we decided that staying in a neighborhood while Eben is still young is a better option, especially since he is an only child. So, instead we purchased a boat that we can use for several days and eventually weeks at a time. We plan to begin by “camping” on it and eventually want to cruise to the Keys and Bahamas.
I don’t have any photos to share with you yet – silly me, I thought we were only “looking” at sailboats. I will share photos with you as soon as I get a chance to take some. I am so excited for this new adventure – I can’t think of anything better than jumping off the sailboat in the middle of the ocean to snorkel or paddleboard. And as an added bonus, my parents come to visit in two weeks – we look forward to sailing with them the entire time.
How about you lovely readers, do you have experience in sailing? Do you have any tips that we should know or destinations that you think we should visit?
