Teresa Carey Words 5 Comments

Since Ben and I set sail 2 years ago to make One Simple Question we have received thousands of emails from interested, inspired and amazing people. Every single email is a new relationship. Now we want all these people we’ve heard from to connect, discuss, and build stronger, mutually-beneficial relationships. Sooo…we’re going to be doing regular Google Hangouts. Each hangout will start with… you guessed it…ONE SIMPLE QUESTION!

Join us on March 27th at 3pm EDT for our maiden voyage of the OSQ Google Hangouts and get some answers to the question that almost every single person asks: How do you prepare for a voyage?

    Estmados Teresa y Ben, gracias por mostrarnos sus sueños logrados y por invitarnos a los seguidores a juntar valor para soltar amarras.
    Es mi deseo navegar a vela, si es posible en un bristol chanel cuter de fibra, Sam Morse, o otro similar, llevando un vida simple y entregando todo lo bueno que hay dentro mio a los demas seres humanos que cruce en mi camino.
    Aun no dispongo de barco, estoy manteniendo mi familia con esfuerso, poseo pocos ahorros y me creo responsable de mi familia.
    Aun con todo , sueño y sueño que ya estoy a bordo capitaneando por otros lugares ese barco velero que me lleve en mi ultimo viaje a la felicidad , a la eternidad…

    Teresa,
    great job with the TedX presentation. My wife and I are also educators and have had several sailboats and just recently purchaced a Catalina 30 (Pura Vida) on which my wife twin 6 yearolds and I live most of the summer. The Cat 30 is far from a blue water boat, however, for inland sailing on the great lakes it has been a great liveaboard boat for the four of us. And the price was right. Many people have commented to me that the price of even smaller bluewater boats scares them away from their dream of living aboard a boat. A good live aboard does not need to be a $40,000 25-35 boat. Our 1983 cat 30 has taken my family on some great adventures and will provide many more in the future. There are great ways of staying on a boat very inexpensively. This would be a great topic for discussion. Affordable blue water boats; they are hard to find.
