I second that response... We left when our oldest kid was 11 and our younger 2 were 9. Which was perfect - because kids are old enough to enjoy it, participate in life aboard, and you don't have to worry so much about them. They're also young enough that they still like hanging out with their parents. It's also the most common age for cruising kids, so there are lots of friends around. The only problem was that we came back too soon. Should have stayed out for at least another year.
If you don't have kids... go now. If you're retired... go now. The boat will NEVER be ready and you'll NEVER have enough money... you've just got to get off the dock. It's freakin' hard to do, but you'll be glad you did. My $0.02 Cheers, Colin On Tue, Feb 4, 2014 at 7:27 PM, Curtis <cpt.b...@gmail.com> wrote: > I love this response. I will go...
