Would do it in a heartbeat and dream about it all the time. If I can figure out how, I want to take 12-18 months and go. Home school the kids and GO. I will need a different boat, but I would just love to do it!
I did it! I am now the owner of a bonifide Money Pit...a Pearson 365 Ketch! And on my first day of ownership what did I do? I signed a PO for $3700 for a bottom job consisting of: 3-new brass through hull fittings with ball valves, new zinks, repairing of a few osmotic blisters, sanding and applying bottom paint....hu-ra....
....and for my next feat...I'm waiting on the price quote to re-rig the standing rigging which is the orginal 1978 SS. That should be between $2500-3500.....
...them 'aint boots....them's Texas Deck Shoes...
