I would rather do that too. Maybe if we decide to keep going
west we can visit the Caribbean on the way back from Europe.

But what should I say to convince Olive that this is the best
way to go ?

We also have a good friend who has been sailing since before
we were born who may want to go with us.
Score, sounds like you could use the help.

Why don't you buy the boat in Florida?

Actually there's a well equipped 2001 Vancouver 460 for sale
in Florida but Olive doesn't want to quit her job right now.

I also think she prefers a new one :-)

New boats are the pits. They don't come with all the equipment - you
have not only to pay the extra price for new, but also to buy all the
lines and stuff you need.
