Hello everyone, my name is Rick and I'm contemplating buying a RV and transitioning from the liveaboard sailing life to full time RV lifestyle.

I have a 38 foot Cheoy Lee sloop moored on the Indian River near Cape Canaveral. Hence my screen name Sailing Vessel John Galt. I've lived aboard my boat for over 8 years now, and have taken an early retirement from a metro Atlanta fire department.

So, at 58 years old I'm done working and loving it! Looking forward to delving into the years of posts here!
