Things have gotten weird. Sara is for going sooner. I'm not sure. We've come back to the simplified life aboard a sailboat, and decided it is a bit more our speed and budget.
We've given serious consideration to forgoing purchase of a boat until we move to Southern California, utilizing it as a jumping off point. We'd drive from Juneau to San Diego, having purchased the boat a few months prior.
I'm still looking at boats, from Kodiak to San Diego. Nothing is written in the waves. Everything is written in the waves. They will crush you, or you will ride them. Forward.
