If Not Wheels, a Rudder??

A lovely gentleman answered my Craigslist Ad, "Maybe I'm a Nomad" and proposed sailing as a way to see the sights.

I'd never, ever considered sailing. Beyond building a Tom Sawyer raft to bob along the river when I was a kid!

We had a breakfast "meet and greet" (it feels weird calling it a date). It went splendidly. I hope he feels the same HA!  He shared his experiences and plan and goal.

And I started searching TheGoogle for sites about sailing.

Here's what I found:

We Live On A Boat.  The last post was from 2012, but I'm still going to dig through and see what I find.

Sailing Simplicity.  A solo woman sailing.  AND, her blog is blessedly current.  (but the GoDaddy in me notes the site is not secure. Hiss)

A Life Aboard. Year-round living on a sailboat in Maine.  And they have a CAT entry!  Up to date, witty, full of resources. Jeepers, I love blogging.

A Facebook Group Dedicated to Sailing Cats! (whodathunk??!)

Road Less Traveled. Another not-so-current site (guess I'm not the only one with committment issues) with great photos and the blunt reality of life on a boat.

Other general questions:
-does the bathroom flush directly into the ocean?
-would a bidet be more friendly for boat septic systems?
-are hammocks a popular item for sailboating?
-how do you prevent sunburn if you're always topside?
-where can I buy a white hijab?
-can a person live Paleo on a sailboat?
-I bet fires are highly discouraged (candles/incense/etc)
-would the cat develop sea legs?

Mr. Breakfast assured me pets are welcome on boats. I wonder if my Romeo would agree. He'd certainly enjoy chasing the "ship rats" away! And maybe any other booglie-bugs that want to appear.
