The wife and I have sailed the coast of NC and most of the East coast of FL, and Lake Erie ( I'm from Buffalo, NY) we have sailed our boat to Bimini from Miami. If it takes 5 years to do the loop that's how long it will take, we are retired, but we plan to take the Corbin 39 on a circumnavigation after the loop (sailing part I) and looking forward to sailing part II. So much to do and one life isn't long enough. The sail part I ( the loop) has been on the schedule for only 3 years, but sailing part II has been in the planning stages since I was 16 (now 55).
