We are in our 4th year now, I just bought a boat and we moved on board then adjusted our lives accordingly. Never looked back its been great, we have almost completed our circumnavigation of the UK and I've been published (on Kindle), and selling well.
We still think of ourselves as very, very novice sailors (which we are).
Anyone can do it, we are proof of that, its fun, interesting and no experience nessessary for a great life.
Our thing is to sail six months and stop when the money runs out (where ever we are), get a job and save to leave again in spring. It has worked out brilliantly so far and we hope to enjoy another few years doing the same thing sailing around the US and NZ.
If you're going to do it, pick a date and go otherwise you'll still be thinking about doing it same time next year.
I also think that circumnavigating the UK is the best way to start, before heading off for the med, europe or other big destination. I've heard of too many folk getting to the med or Azores and having to leave and sell the boat as things didn't work out as others said.
Good luck to anyone setting out on their adventure......the journey begins....
