Excellent news hisw! I'm almost there as well. Just waiting for a final few things to be sorted and will be handing my notice in as well in a few weeks - unfortunately 8 weeks notice. I then need to start the (fun) process of purchasing a yacht over the winter months.

Good luck in your cruising!

Cheers

John

Hmm, sounds like a good idea, but maybe at 25 I'm a little too young ?

Not at all - I am 25 and have just decided to do the same. Am off on the ARC in November and then down to Sydney to do Sydney-Hobart. Have no intention of working behind a desk ever again!
Renting my house out so mortgage covered, selling car and going. Taken me months to pluck up the courage but now I know I am going I cant imagine not going...where theres a will theres a way.....

Ah, lament.

Wish I had a house to rent, then would be no probs, but live in SE UK where min price of terrace house in ok(ish) area is £160,000 ! Or could live in Murdersville at £130,000.

You doing ARC on own boat or as crew ?

Racing not my thing, want own boat to go cruising slowly on. Med, TransAt, Pacific.

Reckon £15,000 - £20,000 on Twister or like. Then £10,000 for 18 months cruising.

Then I've gotta go back to work.

Damn.

I live in South of England and know what you mean. Hope I can rent the bloody place out though or am stuffed.
Am crewing on an Ocean 60 and theres only 4 of us on board so should be fun!

Well that was one of my reasons for going. I live in the south and the prices are so high. I dont want to be a slave to the morgage and then the desk as a consequence and I don't consider that 25 is to young as i am only 26!!
