    Anyone doing boat life on the East Coast

    Wow, looks great! You're kind of hitting my dream journey at the moment--I've been trying to find the moment to get a boat and start sailing full time.

    Sailing lessons in the Northeast?

    Hey all! So right now I'm working on a farm in Richmond VT through HelpX, but that only goes for about another month. I've decided the wandering life is for me, and I'm dipping into the savings I built up this last summer to buy a boat. There are a couple 22-30' sailboats in my price range...
