Were do I begin?

So I have a dream, an idea that needs fulfillment, but where do we begin?

Well here is what I did first, I created a brainstormed generalized list in no particular order.

1. Buy boat
2. Learn how to sail
3. Save money for trip
4. Sell all belongings that will not fit on boat
5. Sell house/car
6. Fix up boat and outfit her with needed equipment
7. Find out how to get income while sailing
8. Determine expenses while sailing
9. ... and many more

I'll just get started with some of those and explain what I've already done in many future posts.  I will share some of the things I've already encountered while researching.

Wow I am already more inspired!

I am going to do this, woohoo!

In the Beginning

In every beginning there is a idea.  That idea soon becomes a dream and for many that is the most it will ever become...  Here is my dedication to making that dream a reality.

First lets start of with a little introduction about myself.  I make my living in front of a computer programming websites and what not.  I am living in a nice little house in a little town where downtown and country living are just blocks apart.  I am basically bored, I keep busy, but bored none the less.  I go to work, I come home and cook myself dinner and then work around the house.  Go to sleep then repeat.  Most of my friends are married, getting married, moving away and having children while I stand around lost.  Granted I have lots of fun when I can, but I am basically sick of the typical routine (call it an early midlife crisis). Hah!

So here's my crazy plan.  I am going to buy a sailboat, fix her up and take her to places unknown in the next 2-3 years.

Crazy huh?

My hopes are to share my experiences, lessons learned, thought processes with others whom may be looking to join me in the near future.

More to come...
