I have had reality smack me into going cruising now instead of later. My coworker decided to buy a boat to cruise on retiring in a year. Found a great boat and was working towards closing day. Noticed he could not shake off the flu bug, went to the doctor - he won't be going anywhere. That is the kick in the pants I needed. I will be closing on his boat in a couple of weeks. It will be his to use while he can. Then we will sell the house and cruise. So that beings me to the group. On the other hand my parents are in their late seventies living aboard in warm waters. - Allen

Hello and welcome to the group. If you've been lurking for a while you already know there are quite a few interesting and informative people around here. More posters around in the summer I think. There are also a few idiots but they usually make a bunch of noise for a little while and then go away. Enjoy. -- Ken Heaton & Anne Tobin Cape Breton Island, Canada kenheaton AT ess wye dee DOT eastlink DOT ca

GO for it! I'm hoping for a non-lethal kick in the pants like that, but more likely will find myself "between jobs" next when I retire. We've already got a couple of years' cruising kitty saved up for whatever eventuality.
