Susan:
I remember you thread from last yer, as it was about the time that I too decided to explore the possibility of voyaging. I too have 2 children - I guess the same age as your, as my youngest started high school this past fall.
I had not had any experience in reall sailing prior to that time, and have very little now - a bit of crewing in a race series here, and I do own a bluejay. I too have taken advantage of the power squadron's courses and research as much on the web as I can.
My plan is to be in a poistion to go when my youngest goes to college, and I certainly believe that I can get there. I am pretty handy, self-sufficient and I have a great desire particularly to explore other cultures. So much about the voyaging lifestyle appeals to me that I cannot imagine this not coming to realization for me.
Anyway, I just thought that you could use the encouragement. I too am in the boat of being a singlehander.
Rick
