Well I have come to the conclusion that I will never be "ready" to go cruising. It is always one thing after another. So on July of this year I turned in my notice and will leave the work force as of December 28th. I say leave because "retire" just gives impression of being old and sitting around. That is the last thing I want to do. Plan as of now is to get boat back in water ASAP and be ready to leave for the bahamas by march. So over the next several months I will be posting updates on my progress and a few pictures. Then starting in march this will be my site for my first cruise.
