He's convinced we need to be rich to do this. Living in SoCal, it's hard to get there without selling up, which neither of us is willing to do. But we just purchased "the" boat, and we're taking it one step at a time. So far, he seems pretty enthusiastic, but I'm itching to put together a departure timeline. In the meantime, I follow blogs like yours to stay inspired.

We got rid of everything except for little plastic boxes we gave to our sons (1 each) 12 inches x 6' x 4' which will contain small souvenirs they want to bring along with them.<br />We are leaving the land on May 1st with our 2 sons who just turned 12 and 14. I was afraid nobody out there would suit our family because we will sail with teens, and that sons finally feel lonely.<br />We will be sailing to Bahamas first, leaving Canada somewhere beginning of next September.<br />If anyone here want to stay in touch with us, feel free to email (acloutier396@hotmail.ca) I will soon open a Facebook page for our sailing family: S/V Poly'n'easyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03567637992457355022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-510806044865858138.post-57356881688716602782016-02-16T14:10:37.003-08:002016-02-16T14:10:37.003-08:00Nice blog.
