I hope this answers your question. I know lots of people might think we are crazy, but that's ok. Many of our relatives think ending our careers in our early 50's, then living and cruising full time is crazy too. But for us, compared to the high stress corporate world we came from, it's a dream come true.

Your entire response was great, but the last two paragraphs really stand out in terms of justifying (when and if we are compelled to) our "lifestyle" choice. But the line I highlighted, well that is truly a powerful sentence about the enjoyment and intrinsic value of boat ownership!
