If I had 11 years to plan for dropping the docklines... I'd go nuts!
Actually I do have 11 years (+/- a few) to plan, but I maintain some semblance of sanity by not thinking about it that way. I have small, short term plans that involve education and practice and more education and more practice, all of it fun and all worth doing for it's own sake. Mostly, with that sort of time frame, I feel it's necessary to not even think in terms of "sailing away in 11 years". Too much can (will) happen to change your plans.
