Welcome to the Winds of Time, where we will share our story - where we will tell about our plans, our preparations and the voyage of getting "there", in the hopes that our own information, and even mistakes can be used by others to help fulfill their own dreams! Our chosen Voyage is to retire from the "Normal Life" soon, leave behind the rat race, our home in Colorado and join a wandering group of people known loosely as "Cruisers". Our current goals are to finish paying some bills, do some fixing up of the homestead and eventually sell it. In roughly eighteen months, if all goes well from this date, we will have our home up on the market (if indeed, there is a market then). Once we sell our home we will be ready to go at any day. The next goal beyond that is to find a seaworthy boat, one that will carry us where we will - starting with whatever home port we find ourselves, likely on the East Coast or Florida, then on to the Caribbean. Don't wish us luck - we don't require it. Plans, goals and the accomplishment thereof are what make things happen. Stay tuned for short stories, information, advice, plans and more! |

Winds of Time Join Rick and JoAnne as we prepare and count down the days to retirement, and to the purchase of our cruising boat. We're still learning and will share as much of the experience as we can with others in the hope that our plans and dreams can be realized by others as well. We welcome email, see the contact page. We want to help others to do the same - and will gladly give whatever information we ourselves have learned. So, sit back and read, and enjoy the site. Rick and JoAnne |
