Whats up steem? My name is Justin. Iโm a USCG Captain and Iโve been on here about a month and wanted to tell my story.
Iโve been sailing around the Caribbean on my 50ft beneteau sailboat for 4 seasons now. I bought โS/V Vagabondโ in Barbados and single handed it to Miami (1809 nm). Iโve logged just over 9,000nm on Vagabond to this day.
My days consist of floating on pink flamingos, tanning and polishing stainless steel. I am a total beach bum and know every grain of sand from the Bahamas to Grenada. I think this is the best spot.
(Tobago Cays St. Vincent)
Iโm hoping to take off to travel the globe and do the big circle (circumnavigate) next March. Iโm on here to document that and my current Caribbean travels.
I hope to inspire others to leave the daily rat race and enjoy a life of self sufficiency and leisure. You can live very well on a boat for the cost of a crappy 1br in your typical city.
Have a great day and I hope the wind is blowing your direction.

Welcome :) Seems like a pretty enjoyable life with many stories and pictures to share! Have fun around here :)
Thanks Iโm already having a blast here! Appreciate the vote!
I'm sure I will enjoy your posts and happy sailing.
Thanks
Welcome on board man .... hope together we will make a healthy community .
Thanks ๐ thatโs the plan
Congratulations on your introduceyourself post. Thanks for taking us along your journey so that we can also enjoy the luscious beaches.
My offer still stands for when you are around Roatan, I'll invite you to a few beers.
I am interested in the sailor's lifestyle and I will get there someday. For now, I'm working on investments that can help me to fund my travels in the future.
If you ever want to learn hit me up. Iโm Always looking for crew. And after the boat is paid for 2 people can live VERY well on $1800 usa a month
I am definitely interested in learning at some point.
For now, I think I would like to do various trips to get some experience. I understand that there are a few jobs to transport vessels for owners. I think I could probably help to do that as a hand on the boat.
We'll see. But i'll keep your offer in mind.
Thank you.
Hope you have a great week.

Thanks! I appreciate it
u welcome friend
Welcome to here! I hope you will like here...
๐ thanks I already do. This is an amazing platform wish i found it sooner
Yeah, you've convinced me... I should definitely quit my job and go live on a boat and travel around the Caribbean. If only I didn't get so easily sunburned and seasick... and if student loans weren't a thing. Sigh.
Kill those loans. Then buy a boat asap its such a chill life and way cheeper then living on land

Thanks man
Welcome! Hope you find this place a welcome diversion from all that surf and sand...lol... It can be a tricky place to "navigate" (see what I did there?) so drop me a line if you ever have a question. I've only been here a couple weeks already, but I've learned quite a bit. Follow me back....
Thanks! And i did great pun
Cool. And like I said, just post any quetion you may have right here, and I'll get back to you ASAP.
FYI..photo stories of the various place you've been around the Caribbean would really "sell," I bet.
