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.
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.
We have a three-pronged approach to this plan.
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.
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.
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 Lot’s of looking, and an actual offer (that has since been rescinded).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.
I’ll keep the blog updated as developments occur.
Wish us luck!
