Hello! My girlfriend and I are beginning our boat shopping and I'm curious what y'all experienced sailors think about our possible budget options.

We got our RYA Day Skipper certs and decided this is a lifestyle we want to pursue. We sold almost everything and moved to Florida to start looking for our new home on the water. We're looking at 35-40ft monohulls.

I was originally planning a budget of roughly $60k USD, which will still leave me with a healthy maintenance/upgrade budget to get it ready for cruising. However, now I'm wondering if it would be prudent to finance a $150k boat that's a little newer and needs a little less work. I'll still be working my full time software job and would be able to pay it off within a couple of years.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

It's been about 6 years since I was raped and my PTSD developed into severe panic attacks and agoraphobia.

6 years since I've felt normal. 6 years of being terrified to even get my own mail. 6 years of feeling like I'm on house arrest even though I'm the victim.

Tomorrow, I'm moving. Tomorrow I'm leaving this shitty town and all this trauma behind me. I am not ready. I am freaking the fuck out. I am going anyway. As my therapist says, if you wait until you're 100% ready for something, you'll never do anything. It's been a long, lonely, depressing 6 years but I've made so much progress.

Tomorrow I start my search for a sailboat. I'm going to see the world if I have to drag my house with me. I'm done being a prisoner of my own mind.

This community has been so supportive and helpful during these years. I hope you all can make some progress today too.

1.2 is awesome and the vehicle rework is amazing. However, one of my favorite things to do is plop a train down, set it to a station, then go afk for a minute or two while I transit. I've started a new save with random nodes and I'm using vehicles a ton. I just wish I could afk-autopilot to my auxiliary factories

Hello! Sorry, posting this to a couple subreddits for visibility. Hope this is alright. Even though I'm not planning on an RV I think y'all will have experience with this issue:

My partner and I just completed our Day Skipper certifications and we are looking to cruise along the East Coast of the US. We will be selling our house and living full-time on the sailboat. I work remotely, so I don't think there will be any issues.. but my work will require a permanent address/mailing address.

How do y'all get mail and do you have a permanent address?

I've been absolutely loving Witch Hat Atelier, and I think my little nephew would as well. He's 6 though, so I'm hesitant to recommend it to my sister to watch with him since there are only a few episodes out so far. I'd hate to get him hooked on it only for there to be an inappropriate twist.

Thanks
