Here we go!

Did you buy a boat yet? and other frequently asked questions…

I thought I would share some of the many questions we’ve been bombarded with since we’ve started sharing our plans of adventure.  The most common one, at least recently, is

Did you buy a boat yet? No, we haven’t bought a boat yet.  We can’t buy a boat until we sell our house.  No, we havn’t listed our house yet, so no we didn’t buy a boat yet.

Followed closely by, Are you looking at boats?  Well yeah!  Daily or weekly or when ever I find the time between fixing up our house for sale, repairing and manageing rentals, servicing ATMs, hanging out with the kids/spouse, screwing off (we’re easily distracted), and a whole host of other items not mentioned here.  Heck yes, we’re looking at boats.

What do you do at night when you want to go to sleep?  If we’re on an overnight passage then not everyone will be able to sleep at the same time, but remember, there are three of us on board so making two or three hour shifts per person affords 4 to 6 hour naps for the others.

 

Hello world!

Ok, just figuring this blogging stuff out obviously.  How hard can it be right. Thank goodness the tech support at GoDaddy are patient and knowledgeable. I guess  it’s kind of like doing repairs and remodel on the house, nothing goes quite as easy as it should. Ah, but once I get the hang of this, watch out world. Kind of like our sailing adventure, once we get the hang of it WATCH OUT WORLD!

The count down continues. I’m now at 67 days until retirement eligibility. Wow, just over two months. There is far too much stuff to do before then. And I find out today I’m supposed to be in court in a few days about a property compliance issue on a property that I don’t even deal with. Along with that, the blah, blah, blah.  I’m sure most of you understand. There is a lot of crap we have to deal with in this world. All I want to do is buy a boat and cast off. I’m much more anxious to deal with those problems. Why did I ever invest in Real Estate? Why did I ever move to TN. I know God has a plan. I hope I can read the blueprints.
