Well.. a phone call to the family has put a bit of a dent into my plans. Looks like my grandparents have gotten rid of the cement foundation that the old trailer used to sit on and have now planted fruit trees there. They also don't seem to want to have anyone around as often as I would be if I were to live with them or be building a boat in their yard... so now I gotta find a new place to build my boat and a place to live when I get back to the states.
*groans* Just more expenses to take away from my efforts to start my own business! TT^TT *sigh* But I'll figure something out. I can still make this work! I just gotta find the right job and the right location to do it all in.. I'm gonna have to work on all my connections to see what's possible and what isn't. I still want to do a Tall Ship internship, but I need to contact them for more information, because if they want to charge me to work on their ship.. forget it! I'm not going to pay someone to let me work on their ship!
Besides! There's tons of other ways I can get sailing experience. The trick is going to be finding a place to build my boat. I can always stay with family while I work on my ship. But where to build the ship where it's not going to cost me extra money? Every penny spent on something else is a penny taken away from my ship & my business.. which means it'll take longer to get her all up & running. I don't want it to take any longer than 2-3 years to get going & get me out on the open ocean!
So... now I guess I need to find myself a shipwright. That should be my next move I guess. If I can find a shipwright, then I can start getting a good figure on costs and maybe they will have place where I can build my ship. I wonder if I can find a ship to fix up and cut down on the building time and costs? I seriously doubt it.. considering the kind of boat I wish to have.
Hrm.......... Things just got a bit more complicated......... BUT I AM NOT GIVING UP!!!
