We are officially unemployed... well sort of.
We have sold the majority of our business and in a couple of weeks Carl will be working on the boat full time YIPEE!
Our house is on the market but not a lot of action, ahh well we could always rent it.
It feels great knowing that everyday we are dealing with less and less stress. We hate the thought that after working all day we come home and yell at the kids, this is why we're going to dump and run. Life is way to short to sit around and wait for retirement in order to "start" your life. We are going to live the life of bums as long as possible then Carl or myself will get some freelance work, preferably him because he would earn triple of what I would make, not looking forward to that day tho.
We have sold all our equipment associated with our business so Carl is in a rush to put the engine back in the boat. Hopefully a couple of coats of paint have been slapped on in the laz/ engine room and he'll put it in with one of our cranes tomorrow, then finally we can seal up the cockpit floor and be able to move the boat again. Feels weird to own a boat that can't move.
She is slowly coming together but I'm yet to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I wish we didn't have to do so much work to her. She's like a 3rd daughter - money pit!
It will be all worth while when we sail off into the sunset - with Carl puking, big C screaming because she hates the harness, little C tossing all unfixed objects overboard and well me drinking beer to blur it all out.
