Hi. My wife and I are in our upper-50s and recently sold our business and retired. We are seriously considering buying a catamaran and pursuing the "boat life" for our early retirement years. We are looking for crew opportunities to help us learn to sail and experience living onboard a boat before we make the jump. We are both very fit and very adventurous, but have no sailing experience. I have many years on the ocean with the US Navy and have experience with navigating, rules of the road, chart reading, etc. Both of us are very comfortable on boats and do not get sea sick. We also both certified scuba divers and strong swimmers.

Achieved my first big goal of retiring before 60. My new goal is to see the world with my wife, be adventurous, and live a life of meaning and to help others be successful.

I miss being on the ocean since my days in the Navy. I want to get back on the ocean, learn to sail, meet new people, and see as much of the world as I can.
