Where are we now?

Our house sold in May! We are now renting by the ocean, everyday is like a vacation. Old beach house with a lake in the back and the front yard is the Atlantic Ocean(at least across the street). We are now one step closer to sailing away or are we? Eight months maybe ten we will be debt free except for two cars. Can't wait for that. Now we ponder the idea of leaving. I can retire from teaching this year. House gone. Debt almost gone. Kids situated for now. Maybe, we don't want to go now! I have read about how feelings come and go on leaving your comfortable house for a boat and can tell you we are having second thoughts. For now, we will look at boats and see where the next couple of months take us.

  1. Transition jitters. It's normal when you find your situation changing for something unknown. So far you've seemed to follow your plan; just keep taking one day at a time and enjoy the process. Looking for a boat can be an adventure (as Brittany and Scott at Windtraveler have shared). Keep taking it in small steps. Our own horizon for cruising has become more flexible and free-form with time. Enjoy yourselves each day.
