My grandfathers plans were to be a looper all around the country when he retired. He spent time in the Caribbean with paid captains learning on their boats, him being a Navy guy he was familiar and comfortable with being out to sea but he wanted the experience of doing it all alone not with an entire crew so he had the confidence. Plans were to chase the warm weather all year and enjoy sport fishing. Sadly after he bought his boat, fully rigged it up, set his plans for the next year and retired he passed away three days before leaving for his trip. His reality made me say if your thinking about doing it do it before its too late! Definitely would have been a life changing trip
