Fellow complete newbie, hence messing up reply.
I'm little use to you unlike the experienced guys who have been setting me on the right track with many things.
I guess we are very different. We fell in love with the second boat we viewed and are now figuring it out. We have been yachting for years so lots of the wrong experience. We often enjoyed the luxury of a coke bottle shower in the cockpit so we are amazed at the plentiful water supply. Once you get used to living small and simple it's such a happy thing. The beauty is you find your own way. Go for it and enjoy. We are weekending whilst sorting things out but plan to retire onboard ASAP.
Enjoy the journey x
