Living Aboard vs Land Homes
I can attest to the concern of selling everything and moving aboard "full time". When I first pitched the idea of moving aboard to my wife she said OK as long as we didn't sell the house. Our situation is a little unique whereby a job transfer of 100 miles landed us in San Diego, CA. A drive that I still do today but with the boat it was the best years of lives. We wrote about our journey and the true costs in a small book and still long for those days. The real message here is that life happens, people get ill and you may need to move back to land (we did). Having the house made the transaction much easier. We are now back on the water but still have the house. In the future we can see a smaller land based house / townhome and a boat capable of living aboard. As a wise man once told me, "Different strokes for different folks". He was right and was is my dad.
