Living aboard and learning to sail, or vice versa

Thanks Eryka,
You are so right. Never wait til we are 95 for what we can do today! And who knows, we might not even live to be 95! OUCH... well, I am taking your advice and negociating with my boss over an older sailing sloop he is trying to get rid of. It needs alot of TLC but I think I can get it cheap. Once again, thanks...

Your comments, "My dilemma is thus: Living aboard and learning to sail, or vice versa. Since I have never been sailing, it seems to be stupid to buy a boat simply as a place to live. Do people do that? Or should I learn to sail and then buy the boat? It''s like the old question of the chicken and the egg. ", lead me to suggest that you take a look at the board on this website related to "crew wanted".

If you can hook on for a little sea time on someone else''s boat, you''ll be able to make quite a few of those decisions that have you puzzled at the moment.

Good luck.
