[QUOTE="ICanFixIt, post: 3736245, member: 45888"] My wife and I lived aboard on a couple of sailboats in and around Florida. All I can say is, that phase of my life is over and I certainly don't want to do it again. Cold weather on a boat takes cold to a whole new level. Maintaining a boat is anything but cheap. All boaters know that B.O.A.T. is an acronym for, Break Out Another Thousand. Taxes on my nice warm house are a lot less than the were on my boats. The live-aboard boating community might take a bit of getting used to. They all want to escape the same responsibilities you do. There are some great people living on boats, and there are some not-so-great ones. You don't have much control over who is in the slip next to yours. It sounds like a great adventure when you are sitting in your recliner, but the reality is MUCH less comfortable. I met some really great people and had some really good times, but no thanks to repeating that adventure. [/QUOTE]
