RickB made a comment a week or two ago, something like - you can be proactive on maintenance or wait for things to break at the most inopportune time. X2 on this thought as well regarding trying to keep up with a large live aboard family and toilet system maintenance alone.

This summer in Alaska we met a family living on a 50 something sailboat with 7 kids. Everybody seemed happy except the skipper who was neck deep in boat chores every minute of every day
