hello all right now the boat is sitting at a private residence in the water at cape coral ,Fl..... depending where I get my transfer to, then I will move the boat to a marina near work.... my wife and I have a plan B, C and d if we need it.... we have been discussing it for months now.... we are ready for this big change.... we know the boys will be moving on in a few years... until then we have our sailing crew.... when they move on, I have lots of friends who like to take vacations and plan to come from up north down to stay with us and go sailing .... everything I can put on the boat is what I want to keep... everything else I can live without.... my wife is use to a simple life, and few possessions, she is from china, and only been in USA since August when we got married.... it will be a big adjustment for me, but I am happy and willing to make the adjustment... my life long dream is to live on a sailboat and sail everywhere I want to go.... and before I am too old to make it come true, I am doing something about it now.... thanks for all the advice... I appreciate it.... maybe I will see some of you down in Florida and we can have a beer or wine and a good authentic Chinese festival meal together on my boat... sincerely Jess
