Hi, I am 47, living onboard ORIANA a Freya 39 in Bellingham WA. Looking for a sincere and honest 1st mate to weekend sail and one day sail around the world starting 2007 -2012. She is fully loaded with everyting needed for deep blue water.

Talk about long-term planning - very impressive. I can''t plan beyond next week usually. Quick question for you - how do you find living aboard in WA? I''m considering relocating to the Pacific Northwest to do same. Thanks.

HI,
Living onboard during the winter gets cold but I have a Dickerson Heater and it runs 24/7 keeping everything nice and warm. It has a 2 gallon day tank built in so it gets filled once a day.
The rain is not that bad since I enjoy sailing in both sun and rain. Makes me feel at home.
