'We' is myself Miles and my wife of nearly 23 years Alison. We live in the north of England.
Five years ago we came up with a 'five year plan' to sell up and travel the world on a sailing boat. More of that later.
Yacht/boat wise we are looking for a 40 foot or so, long keel sailing yacht.
We've had 5 years to contemplate what type of boat would suit us and the job in hand.
We've searched mainly on the Internet. Had experience on sail training yachts, been on a couple of friends vessels and had an exploratory trip to Plymouth on a coach trip ( that was gruelling but enjoyable )
In this present economic climate our house isn't worth as much as we had hoped, but yachts - especially in Europe - have come down in price to suit.
We need the money in the bank before we can seriously negotiate buying a boat.
Alison has got really itchy feet and can't settle. I'm plodding along as usual. I never really believe anything till it happens. We are a good team. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me ( and visa versa I hope )
So I'm reluctantly letting go of my worldly possessions - from my extensive electric guitar collection ( I am taking 2 max ) to numerous cut off electrical cables with the the 13a plug still attached ( just in case )
We have been watching ' The hoarder next door ' on tv which has helped me a lot. Alison on the other hand will only need :-
CLEAN UNDERWEAR AND A PASSPORT !
