So, Matt and I went through our budget and came up with a 27 month plan to get out of debt (hooray!) – and then another 15 months to save and ship off… Nov/Dec 2013 should be our target to set sail. [UPDATED: We are now committed to a January 1, 2014 sail date. Want to sponsor a day at sea?

We are planning to visit Annapolis for the boat show in October. This will be my first time to step foot on a catamaran… I am excited to see them and see if what we look at every day on the computer even comes close to real life.
We have thought about buying our boat in a year, and living/working on it until we set sail, but I think we may hate it before we even leave if we are docked all the time working all week… so we will see. (you need more stuff if you have to go to work everyday vs. shorts/tshirts/swimsuits when you are cruising)
Guess I will go work now to earn my share of the debt-reducing income we need. 🙂
