Catching a Dream

Dream Catcher enters our lives!

About a year ago, we purchased "the boat", a 2009 Leopard 40, that we plan on using to exit our current reality. Purchasing the boat was really a 4 year process that began in 2008 when we first set up this blog and made the decision to go. We really had no idea as to what kind of boat to sail away on. I've owned several 30-40' monohulls and I love the feel of a monohull as it heels to the wind and it surges through the water. So, we started out pretty biased towards a monohull.

The Perfect Boat

It's definitely going to be a different decision for different people. There is no such thing as one perfect boat, there are just many boats perfect for different people. For us, the decision evolved based on our research over the years.

How time flies...

Well, it is now December 2012 and a lot has changed since we made our blog and posted our first posts. It's funny to see our optimism and that we'd be sailing away by now. On the positive side, it's still our goal and we've bought "the boat" and we're preparing it for departure. We've tentatively identified 2014 as the jumping off year. I definitely feel more confident that we can do it and that we will do it.

I have some history to backfill in this blog, so power up the time machine.
