I just knew someone would say that "I shouldn't be going" blah blah blah. I
know how to sail. I currently do not have a boat, but was hoping I would
get some answers so I would be able to start thinking about what boat would
do me the best (without making a mistake the first time) since I have been
on land raising my family for a couple of decades...
For the other folks that answered me- give me some time to read through the
sites you sent me- if you can spare the time- please email me and maybe I
can ask you some questions directly:

Thanks,
RB

My wife and I want to retire and do a circumnavigation just the 2 of us.
What should I look for in a boat?

If you don't know what you need to look for, you shouldn't be going.

Autopilot if there is only the two of you

Autopilots can be installed or replaced. Wind vane steering would be
better as there's less to go wrong with it.
