Hi All!
I've visited this forum before but never registered till today. I've always enjoyed sailing, but its only recently that I've gotten this wild idea in my head to turn it into a lifestyle. (still working on convincing the wife! :laugher but she's cool- and I think I'll succeed!). Anyway, I've set a plan in motion to minimize our lifestyle and consolidate remaining essentials onto a boat before traveling the wold. I'm already self employed (as of this year after leaving my previous job of 10+ years) and the plan is to get my wife into a "work from home" opportunity as well (corporate recruiting) such that we could both work from the boat while experiencing the world!
I'm giving us about a year or two to follow through with this. Selling 4 motorcycles, a jeep, SUV, and a house (or maybe renting it)...
Going to be interesting minimizing my prototyping equipment for product design onto a boat, but I think I can make it happen.
Anyway, as you can see, this is a kind of a big deal for us. My position remains that the benefits outweigh the negatives by quite a bit. In fact, nearly every time this idea crosses my mind (often!) it gets better!
Glad to be a part the community, and I can't even express how excited I am about the future! Hope to see more of all of you both in person AND in cyberspace!
Cheers!
