Dreaming and the basics of how to start
"In my youth" I went half way around and back. At the helm a lot of
the way in a big USN way. "As I age" I wish to do it all the way around. My wife and I will be in South Florida for vacation the week of Christmas, and would like to look at ?catamarans? capable of a circumnavigation. We would not be able to purchase before next fall, hinging on the sale of everything we own to accomplish this dream. Is there a polite way to view boats in the $100k to $150k range while not feeling that we are taking advantage of some brokers time, or a private individual's time, knowing that the boats we look at will have been sold by then? (I also wonder if SO will be able to handle the small quarters) Is it realistic to think that a well equipped boat, with $100k in the bank will last? 5?, 10?, 20 years till social security kicks in? Looking for input, thank full for your time. Frank and Gail. (and is "Gail Wins" a bad name for a boat?) -- Woodsy, Off the Grid, Off the Road, Off my Rocker... |
