Updates

I've got a crude budget put together. It looks positive. I'll post later.

Sara spoke of the potential for burnout as a travel nurse.

She's an ICU nurse for over a decade in level 1 trauma centers. Currently, she is a flight nurse here in Alaska.

It's a different feeling, moving from one place to the next, never really becoming a part of the team.

I've ordered Exploring the Pacific Coast—San Diego to Seattle
Second Edition.

I continue to research the different vessels up and down the coast, from San Diego to Kodiak. We aren't set on any particular type yet. This trip will be coastal cruising, so priorities should be designed off of that forethought. A blue water sailboat is tempting, if only for safety's sake. The creature comforts of a well laid out motor cruiser, given we are a family of four, can't be ignored. 

The biggest expense difference will be the fuel costs of a motor yacht as well as an increased amount of maintenance, due to it having so many more systems on board. 

By initial expenses during purchase, I see the "right" sailboat costing more up front than the "right" motor yacht. What comes after, the particular vessel can only tell.
