Hello, my husband and I just decided that this may be the right
retirement life for us. I am already retired, at age 43, and he is
30, and we are ready to GO!! We are not rich for sure (my retirement
is medical based, but nothing that will keep me from cruising)
We live in Nevada, so we dont have access to boating classes,and we
are clueless about everything! We dont even know what size boat to be
researching, if we should be new or used, etc.
The first advice I need is where to start? Are there any books I
should read? Any websites to start at?
We would consider this our permenant home, and eventually would like
to do a cross Atlantic crossing. Also we have cats, could they come
with us?
Also, I am pretty addicted to the internet, is there a way to get
internet access in the middle of the ocean? Is it expensive?
I do take a lot of prescription medications. If we did this we would
be without medical insurance, and would not be in the same place for
very long, how would I go about getting the medications I would need?
I am reading one book now, and it mentions "keeping watch" at night,
but does not go into how or why. Would my husband and I have to
sleep at different times? He read about Pirates and is worried about
that. Is there a way to avoid them? Are there a lot of Pirates out
there?
I have TONS of questions, as you can see, and I am anxious to learn
all I can.
Thank you.
Susi
