(or how to move onto a sailboat) With the advent of our 50th birthdays came the usual sorts of life evaluations that one goes through. At what have I succeeded? What contributions have I made? What do I have left that I want to do before I die? Living on the water was high on both our lists. For any who share the dream, and for our family members who might not understand, this is our story. We don't know where it will take us, but welcome along for the ride!

Paradise found
Posted by

So here we sit in Paradise. We have poked around the boat a little trying to find things like light switches and power outlets, walked over to the store to get some groceries, and are now just sitting in the main salon eying a monster of a thunderstorm that has built just north of us across the sound. Oddly enough, though Lady Marian is much bigger than Nomad, she doesn't feel overwhelming.
Tomorrow we'll see what it is like to sail one of these things. Tonight is our first taste of what it would be like to live on one of these things. Sitting here, sipping a Rum & Coke and watching the marina go about its business, it all seems pretty cool. I have to admit, if this isn't Paradise, it is plenty close enough for me.
