Greetings, future readers. Hopefully by the point you discover this publish, the crew of MARS will likely be blissfully crusing the seven seas. However right this moment, we stay in Bend, OR and work full-time jobs whereas getting ready for our future Life on MARS.
This week, we take an enormous step in direction of that future. We’ve determined to record our residence on the market! The earnings from our home, plus financial savings, plus future financial savings equals our crusing price range.
The concept is to take a couple of years off from “actual life” and spend uninterrupted time with our younger kids (Lizzie, 4; Maddox, 3). We can have grand adventures and study many classes. We may also face many challenges and resolve them collectively as a household.
I’m tremendous excited!
Listed here are the following steps in direction of launching our journey:
- Promote the Home (we’re beginning on this now!!) and put the money into protected investments
- Get a pre-approval on a ship mortgage whereas we go into ultra-frugal mode for six months.
- Discover “MARS”, a crusing catamaran between 40′ to 46′ that prices between $250k to $300k.
- Improve and refit obligatory elements of MARS.
- Stop JOB!!!!! Scary however obligatory!!
- Give away our remaining stuff that received’t go on the boat.
- Journey by land – Oregon —-> Florida
- Transfer aboard our new (to us) vessel
- Rent an professional to high school us on all boat methods and refresh our crusing abilities
- Sail away!
I hope you’re studying this since you discovered our Youtube channel and also you’re having fun with our movies. Or perhaps you’re a buddy/member of the family who’s holding tabs on our progress.
Both manner, thanks for stopping by. Discuss quickly!
