Well we did it.

We just bought a 40' catamaran, to be mostly used for offshore cruising in
about 5 years. This will be a big step up from the last boat, a 30' heavy
displacement monohull that we cruised on for 3-1/2 years and lived aboard
for 8 years.

This boat was a good price and will need a lot of work - but it will keep me
out of trouble in the time between now and setting off.

Wish me luck - especially finding moorage for a 23' wide boat...


Those boats are fun, me and the kid surprised a guy on one last year
when we asked a him if we could paddle under it. I think his two year
old was more excited than we were when we popped out from the stern
all laid down in our little canoe Good luck, Scotty
