Wasn't it just the other day when I wrote about starting to sell stuff in preparation for our move onto a sailboat? Well, one exception to this is that my wife and I are trying to learn all we can about our soon to be new lifestyle. When possible we've checked out books from the local library (not that you can find a lot of books about cruising or sailing at a library in Colorado...skiing maybe, sailing not so much) and we've slowly started picking up books such as "Inspecting the Aging Sailboat" as we started shopping for a boat.
Well, one of the blogs that I regularly read (the entire sailing list is on the right), "The Retirement Project" posted that in their cleaning up to get ready to go, they were going to give away a number excellent sailing books, many of which were on my must read list. Well, in a complete reversal of my recent luck, I actually won the book giveaway.
I'd like to thank Deb and TJ of The Retirement Project for their help in advancing our dream towards reality.
One of the things I've always heard about the cruising community is that they are kind, generous, and willing to help. I think that this giveaway is a nice example of that mindset. In that spirit I fully intend to pay this gift forward when we are done with them. Meanwhile I will soon have an expanded library of sailing books to read.
