It’s both fun and a little scary to say we are now land-homeless, and basically without any significant income. I guess we officially started our full-time cruising lifestyle a few months ago when we said goodbye to our house in Thunder Bay, and made our way down to southern Ontario where our boat lay waiting. A sudden (but not unexpected) family death derailed our sailing plans for this year, so our first year of “cruising” will be spent exploring the continent by motorcycle and tent.
We have a few friends and family members we plan to visit along the way, but most of the time will be spent living simply and (hopefully) cheaply, all the while visiting interesting and warm places. We’ll get back to the boat in early April and carry on from there.
