This is the story of how Kathy and I decided to make a life change. I had been laid off from a job that I hated and we decided to take a new direction. It started as an idea to buy a marina and charter business and evolved into living aboard full time. Following is the story of how we sold our beloved "Cordelia", a 1985 Ericson 35-3, renovated and sold our house, bought a new boat and moved aboard.
