It’s time… For another boat

I have had Ventolines for 10 or 11 years.  I can’t remember, honestly.  She has delivered me on many adventures.  But, my family and I are starting to pivot to something bigger.  A bigger adventure needs a bigger boat.

I hope to document the process here.  It will take time and I still work for a living, but I hope to add everything here.  Right now, we know we want to move from sailing our small boat on an inland lake, to something larger on the ocean.

I see the process this way:

  1. Identify the type of ocean sailing my wife and son would like to do
  2. Determine roughly the types of boats that will help with that
  3. Find a buyers broker we can stand and work with
  4. Find the boat; a used one
  5. Fix it up as needed.
  6. Fix ourselves up as needed
  7. Go sailing…

And sell Ventolines to her next owner.
