This is some really great information folks. My thanks.
My question is geared more toward partial live aboard/coastal cruising rather than vacation. I can see myself and spouse living aboard for a season, perhaps Winter in Florida...snowbird to a boat rather than into an RV or rented condo. I'm not retired though so do need to be able to work (I'm a business analyst for a large hospital organization...give me a computer and the internet, I can work).
You folks are 'living my dream'. I'm still trying to figure it out
Ditto to those comments about no work while on vacation. I enjoy my job but am not addicted to it.
Thanks again!
