2010 Roars in like a Lion..

Happy New Year!

Cowgirl Charley Bella

We have been intermittent on posting lately as a result of having a newborn and a very active 2 year old.  I’m certain the parents out there understand the zombie like state one undergoes in the never ending series of days that turn into nights that last seemingly forever after [read more...]

Making Money Living on a Boat

I would say there are two extremes concerning how to make enough money to live on a boat and then there is everything else in between.

First, there is the more conservative, only ’slightly’ dis-associative method which involves living on a boat while still tethered to land. These are otherwise known as slips and marinas. [read more...]

Get a Job You Lazy Bum!

This is the worst picture I could find of me to go with the 'Bum' title.

No, no one has actually come out and said that to us (while some may be thinking it).  When things get tough I do break down and think this to myself and wonder, “What the Hell am I doing?”.  [read more...]

Short Term Sacrifice for a Dream

I flew out to Tucson on June 22nd to drive to San Carlos, Mexico to inspect a Gemini 3400 Catamaran that we had under contract while Hil and Emma James stayed in Atlanta with various friends house jumping to see as many folks as possible while I was away. We don’t get back to [read more...]

No Jobs for Generalists

Interestingly (or sadly), having been self employed all my adult life in real estate and construction, I find I am now virtually unemployable. I have broad skills from the years spent wearing many hats. Apparently, however, I do not have the specific skills employers are looking for and I get the “do not [read more...]

The Adventurer’s Retirement Plan

I’ve really been giving this some thought.  In my mind there are only a few things that keep most people from living an otherwise extraordinary life in our grey pharmaceutically overloaded risk averse society.

 

Lack of some form of health insurance
A provision for some form of pension/retirement.

 

A lot of people take jobs not for the paycheck [read more...]

Redefining our Definition of Retirement

For the better part of this decade, the federal policy on retirement has been to ‘ease’ employees past the age of 50 out of the workforce.  Certainly as a society, we have developed a mythical concept of retirement that can be compared to some nirvana of ancient greek lore.  After retirement our days are spent [read more...]
