Welcome to the boatlady’s blog! I decided to start this blog to track the progress of the grand scheme that my husband and I share to sell our house and buy ourselves a yacht to live on.<\/p>\n
Steve (not his real name) and I are both in our late 40’s, employed full-time and want to explore life on the open seas. (OK, not quite). We still plan to work for a living, but would like to re-locate to Canada’s westcoast, and live on a yacht.<\/p>\n
We have a three-pronged approach to this plan. <\/p>\n
Step 1. Sell our House. So far step 1 is proving problematic as our house has been on the market since November\/09. But fingers crossed. Of course, we think there’s someone out there who will just love it.<\/p>\n
Step 2. Get jobs on the Westcoast. We both have some irons in the fire, but aren’t pursuing anything concrete until Step 1 is dealt with.<\/p>\n
Step 3. Buy a boat. Lot’s of looking, and an actual offer (that has since been rescinded). The new plan is to hold off on Step 3 until steps 1 and 2 are a done deal.<\/p>\n
I’ll keep the blog updated as developments occur.<\/p>\n
Wish us luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
