Introductions

They say that publicly announcing your intentions to do something makes you more accountable, so I guess this is my way of doing just that. I'm officially serving notice to whoever is reading this that my wife and I plan to sell-up our comfortable home and spend some or all of our time living and cruising onboard a sailboat.

Can we sail? How can we afford to do this? Are we mad? I hope to answer these and many more questions as I muse on this blog.
