Thought I would add a post to a terrific site. I have been umming and ahring over doing sort of what you have done successfully, by buying a nice boat to liveaboard and cruise on/in.
I loved your boat,although unfortunately out of my price range to start. Certainly an achievable target at a later stage. I would assume investing while at sea has it’s benefits for when you come back, as long as they are carefully chosen.
Anyway, thanks for the great advice on buying a boat, you certainly have some great advice worthy of listening too in a year or two when I go out and buy my first ”eventual” love
Thanks for the great advice, and keep the posts coming, great adventures!!
Every couple of years something jogs my brain about adventure and living a dream and I am reminded of you.
Last time, a few years ago, I recall your Christmas letter from the tropics as you were drinking some frozen cocktail and enjoying the sun on Christmas day.
I looked at your site this morning. Great to see that you are still in the thick of it and are making the most of life on the seas.
Hello George and Merima,
I am mesmerized by your site. What enthusiasm and energy you have to keep this site up.!
My target in two years time is to swap our family house here in Europe for an ocean going yacht to spend about five to ten years cruising. At the moment I am just looking at all the options for yachts that would be suitable, and am looking at all periphery requirements such as insurance, equipment and so on. I think the most doubtful and challenging aspects of world cruising for us is the requirements for entering various countries coastal areas. For example I heard (probably from you) that the Seychelles is difficult with no free circulation to the islands. Also the insurance of the yacht and the dangers of salvage claims when in trouble.
Keep writing. Now I found the site I will keep reading.!
