This site is here to share the story of beginning a life of cruising.  The site is dedicated too all of those who have the dream of someday sailing away, to explore the world, visit foreign lands and to get their under your power, and the power of the wind.

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
