A new beginning

I had written off the idea of ever going cruising again. Not because I didn't enjoy my first foray, but because I didn't have someone else to share in the enthusiasm.

That has sense changed.

Watching Lea explore the skills needed for our tiny team to be safe and comfortable at sea has given me a new drive to find my way back to the ocean.

This blog is intended to chronicle the thoughts and confusions that will make up the next few years as we educate ourselves, figure out a boat and go through all the difficult life transitions needed for extended cruising. 

While I hope that others will find it informative (or at least amusing) my main purpose is to keep my own sanity by trying to put down my thoughts as they occur.
