(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!
I live in Australia and I saw you post on “The Retirement Project” about your visit to the Fountain Pajot Fidji in Palm Beach Florida.
I recently communicated with Derek Escher of the Multihull Company about the boat. In my case it is difficult to actually view it before you make an offer, get a survey and then fly over to see it.
I have downloaded all the pictures you have posted and are wondering if you have any more?
As you met the owner, did you feel he would have been prepared to negotiate on price?
As I notice you have an existing boat I wondered if there were any items you may have noticed relevant to the general condition of the boat, as I would be sailing it across the Pacific back to Australia.
As far as I can see there is no HF Radio, Life Raft, Solar Panels or EPIRB.
I would appreciate anything that you can let me know about the boat.
