I will go back and fill in more of our adventures down here, the decision process, the trials and tribulations of it all, and everything in between. Curently this post is mostly for those thinking, dreaming, but unable to see the end. It was a total leap of faith. We are from the center of the center of the U.S. My children, one had seen an ocean once, but didn't remember it, the other thought a red mud lake in Oklahoma was an ocean. We have always had the typical 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car garage with a fenced yard. Now we live with our 2 Kid's and cat on a 41' monohull. It is very different, a little weird, and completly amazing!! I hope to blog more now that we have some of the little bugs worked out with living arangements, and can not wait to share all of the nitty gritty details!
