The Journey begins…..

This is Casper.

This is Casper’s boat. It’s named the “M/V Casper”.

If you’ve wandered into this site expecting brilliant technical insights and profound philosophical musings of a nautical sort, you might be a bit early.

This is the story of Debbie and Rob’s second childhood. Retirement. We’re off on an adventure, and excited as hell at being able to do it together!

We live in Ottawa, Canada. Retirement looms for us both in – hang on, and let me ask Debbie – 20 day, 2 hours, 3.5 minutes, but who’s counting?

We’re selling off the house and the stuff. We bought our boat last summer, while on vacation in British Columbia. It’s been waiting for us ever since, at a marina in Nanaimo.

Here’s the thing: between us, we know absolutely nothing about boats. Zilch.

Scowl if you want. I know. It’s irresponsible, foolish, naive, reckless… The fact is, I’m smiling as I write this, so now you know my opinion on the matter.

We’ll figure it out.
