Hello, world!
This is the New York Floats blog, courtesy of the lovely folks at WordPress and me, your lovely hostess, Jessica. My partner Chris and I are planning a year-long sailing trip around the Mediterranean, and we have no idea what the hell we’re doing. Of course, as we prep for our trip – mentally as well as practically – hopefully we’ll begin to figure it out! And with any luck, the questions, problems and issues we run into will help others who are thinking about a similar trip – or at least will amuse you, Gentle Reader.
So why “New York Floats?” We’ve been living in New York for the last eight years, and we (particularly Chris!) have turned New Yorkers to the core. Yes, that means we’ve got some practice living in small spaces. Still, we’re not sure how we’re going to manage a whole year without takeout, cabs and most importantly our close-knit community of friends. On the bright side, we live right near the 79th Street Boat Basin, which means we can walk from our apartment down to Atlantic Yachting for sailing lessons. We start next week … wish us luck!
