Reality Sets In

Well, here we are, we’ve hired a manager to take care of our business while we are away and we have sold our home and replaced it with a boat almost 7000 km away.  Gasp…this is really happening!

I suppose it shouldn’t come as that much of a surprise.  Just months after Neil and I started dating, we were living together on a 50′ Beneteau in Miami Beach with grandiose plans of cruising the Caribbean.  For whatever reason, the boat had other plans and we never left the dock (at least not on our boat).  Our next vacation was chartering a 42′ Jeanneau in the Grenadines.  Then, after a princess-like marriage proposal, the very next morning we were up at 5:00am en route to Vancouver to help a friend sail his boat back to Victoria.  The writing was on the wall from the very beginning!!  The funny thing is, it wasn’t until a couple of days ago while I was flipping through past sailing photos that I put it all together – it was just a matter of time.

And so our adventure begins…
