WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?

        NO,  NOT A SOUTH CAROLINA BEACH

Though it looks like the sand dunes bordering a South Carolina or Florida panhandle beach, the above photo was taken in Monahan Sandhills State Park, TX.  A really quiet, neat place, you would think you were in the Sahara Desert if not for a windmill and an oil well nearby. 

As we touched on in an earlier post, one of the reasons we are blogging about our journey is so that our experiences might give others who want to go cruising some insight into the things that you must do to transition from land dweller to water.  During the next year or so, we will be doing just that....transitioning. 

We will try to pass along tips, base on our experiences, and our opinions about various cruising related topics.  We do not pretend to be authorities on the subject; to the contrary, we have very little experience.  A lot of what we know we have learned from reading books, other peoples blogs, and cruising logs.  Our own 6-month sabbatical/cruising validated a lot of what we read, and gave us an opinion on what works and what doesn't.  You know what they say about opinions....  :-)

Oh, and ROLL TIDE.....National Champs again!!!!
