Thanks for the tips SV.....I can only imagine how great of an experience you are having. I am going to start by getting my kids sooo hooked on sailing that they will be bugging my wife to go. Then there will be 3 against one in my favor
My frigin property taxes alone are now 600$ a month. I figure we could cut our living expenses in half by cruising. And if i don't have the laptop with us, i can keep my wife away from e-bay! That will save us another 600 a month.
I have always wanted to raise my kids on a boat....even before i had them . I only wish now that i had made sure my wife was more into it before! I just don't understand why anyone would want to live a boring hum drum life on land.....taking the kids to school, going to work, working on the house...it is all so damn monotonous (MS) i want to tear my hair out. I want my kids to see the world and learn and grow through experiences with other cultures. As my uncle put it (a cruiser of years who has been through 3 wifes before he found one that stuck around on the boat)....your trapped!
The difference is that he leaves his kid with his ex...i can't be away from my kids for more than 1 night without getting bummed out, so it's all or nothing for me.
