I'd always loved boats and had spent time on a 22' C-Dory going from Puget Sound to SE Alaska and around Vancouver Island. I figured this was the best time in life to buy a boat, liveaboard, and travel...no house to deal with, no stuff I'd filled up a house with, no kids, etc.

It helps that I have to be boating for my job (updating/editing a cruising guide).
Everyone on the forum has turned green. Not from being sea-sick but with jealousy! I like your life choices! I don't quite fit the pole's description either. Turning 40 this year. But no kids.
