Jim and Nancy had a different dream for their retirement. They imagined themselves traveling to remote settlements on tropical Islands in their sailboat – meeting the people, learning the history, enjoying the environment, and giving a little back along the way. Their biggest challenge was how to accomplish that without the means of the “rich and famous.” They were a late-in-life couple; starting over in their forties. They didn’t have trust funds and stock portfolios – just government jobs with modest pensions, 401K’s and social security. They didn’t even have a boat yet. What they did have was a plan. Sail with Jim and Nancy on their 41 foot sailboat, Solitaire, during their first year as cruisers. Read Jim’s journals and Nancy’s logs as they travel from New England to the Bahamas; learning one lesson after another and getting ready to venture into more remote areas of the world.
