Sailing to escape (whiskers.bim.boats)

Hello sailors, I just wanted to share my hopes to one day be living in a sailboat off grid. I was wondering if anyone else has done this, or any recommendations anyone might have? I have read some books on the matter, such as Get Real, Get Gone, and found it very informative. At this stage, when I cannot leave land for at least a few more years, I am thinking of getting a smaller sailboat to practice with and do some small trips.

Lots of looking on yacht sales websites like yachtworld.com. Get out and inspect lots of boats. I saw many that just didn't have a 'good energy', but the one we finally got just felt 'happy'.
