We hope to have our project completed in four years, hopefully it will
be sooner but the plan is for four years. At that time we have to hire a
rather large truck to transport the boat a Vancouver harbor. Our intentions
then are to get jobs and work on our sailing kitty. We will live on board saving
as much money as possible. Vancouver has some of the best sailing lessons available,
so we 'll learn all there is to learn, then on the weekends or days off
for the next year or so we 'll sail around the Vancouver area as it has many places
to see & explore without being able to get into too much trouble. As we build up our
confidence we'll sail away for a week, then longer until we get very good. We 'll sail
the world in time. Our first stop will be the Hawaii islands. We will stay there for possibly
a few months then move on to places beyond. The thought of learning about the cultures in
various different places is one thing the both of us are very much looking forward to. We
watch all kinds of sailing shows on T.V. when we have the time ,most of our time now is spent
working on the boat , sometimes as many as 10-12 hrs. a day{both of us are not working at
present, so our day begins when we feel like it, but it doesn't usually end until its dark.
We plan to have the hull plated and turned by fall. Again we need to hire a crane
to make this happen . Once the hull is turned we'll loft the inside floor plans, as we are
making our own design, so it will not be the same as the plans . It will be just the two of us sailing
so we can make the additional space work for us as storage, work space etc.

This is what we hope to produce....
We saw this picture on Bruce's site, and both loved it
right away.
