I had a week on week off job in Juneau in the 70s and thought I'd do a lot of cruising on my week off ...... didn't work out that way.

My work gives me a fair wage, health care, etc..., and over 1/2 the year off.
I'm like to think I'm semi retired.

On our way home from football practice tonight my 10 year old son and I got to talking about selling our power boats, renting the house out, buying a 50' sailboat, and heading to southern latitudes. If I don't get to do this in this life I suspect my son just may and as a parent, that is a better thought than even being able to do it myself.
Ken- if your 1/2 a year job making $500k is hiring please submit my name. I am willing to relocate. I can make that in commercial real estate but darned if it is not steady!

Thats too funny! I wish!
The oil patch pays well, but not that well. The great thing is the time off!

FF- I agree- best to do it WITH my son/family! 2nd best is instilling a love of the water in my children.
Kevin- what's this? There goes my image of you as a high roller and friend of Trump himself!

That's exactly what I have been doing for the last 17 years with my boat.
Used to do 6 on 6 off when I was deep sea, then went to 5 on 5 off in the off shore industry and now doing 4 on 4 off working the tugs in a remote iron ore port in Western Australia. I can take off and when its time to go back to work tie the boat up and get on a plane and back to work.
Havn't done the foreign cruise as yet as my partner and I both still have aged mothers that require a bit of attention.
But with that kind of roster you get the best of both worlds.

What you also want to do is take the grandkids out on the water. But maybe not all of them at once.
