Your numbers are climbing! Good for you! I like seeing the progress of someone working really hard to achieve success! It feels good to look back and see how far you have come.

I am glad to see that you have discovered a few sailors that sail. :) It will be fun to tag along virtually on their journey, and the things you will learn will be awesome, some will probably be surprising. Take note of how big their boat is and how well/not well that space seems to work. Sometimes bigger is not better, but, too small is worse.

I don't do that much with my tokens, but, I need to figure out what I can do with them.

Thanks for the mention! I hope you are having an amazing day!

I do what/everything I can. Of course this mainly depending on the community support, which is very good, and I am very grateful and very happy for that. Hopefully I will be able to buy a sailboat in 1-2 years, or maybe even less.

Their videos and texts are giving me a huge motivation/inspiration.

I heard that the smaller the boat is, the better. Of course too small is not good. I am currently thinking about something between 10-20 ft with a cabin.

Have a nice day and have a nice weekend.
All the best. Greetings from Hungary.

That is pretty small and not considered a liveaboard size. As long as you are taking your time right now, consider that you will also want to be comfortable. Ten feet is impractical, I think.

Although too big has another problem. Yearly maintenance should be figured at about 10% of the value of the boat. Also, larger boats need more gas, and you should always try to keep your gas as full as possible so it doesn't slosh around on the water. This can stir up particulates in the fuel tank and clog your fuel filter.

So yes, big/small - they all have their advantages/disadvantages

Also, make sure that you won't need to pay dock fees or if there are places to just put your boat in. Dock fees can be pretty high. Just a few more things to look into. But, now that you are hooked up with people that sail, I won't worry so much about it. :)

Probably not as much impractical as much my current rent financially. Not to mention the cold winter climate of my country (Hungary).

But of course I would look for a boat more close to 20 feet than 10 feet. I also read that a liveaboard is at least 30 feet. That is also okay, but a boat like that probably cost much more than $1000 USD.

Also, make sure that you won't need to pay dock fees or if there are places to just put your boat in.

Yes. Doing that for free would be the best.

Yes. I heard someone from the USA, who pay $150 USD per month for that. This amount is actually very cheap for him, but for me it is nearly my current monthly rent.

I give you some !PIZZA and some !LUV.

Have a nice day and have a nice weekend.
All the best. Greetings from Hungary.
