This question came up when a recently divorced boater friend (non liveaboard size boat) was complaining about life in an apartment. Its just him, his kids are all grown up and moved out on their own. My first response to him was buy a bigger boat and cruise the world.
It got me thinking, what would I do if I unfortunately found myself in the same situation??? Would I take my own advice?
Here's the scenario.
My friend and I work at a remote oil field in Alaska. Our jobs are rotational. We show up at the Anchorage Alaska airport on our start day, the oil company flies us to the work location, houses and feeds us, then flys us back to the Anchorage airport 14 days later.
We then spend the next 14 days as our "off work" days. We don't go to any office, we don't answer e-mails, we're off work. Then we show up in Anchorage and the cycle starts again.
So, if you worked a schedule like that and found yourself single again, would you get in your boat, set sail and cruise the world? Would you become a liveaboard at a harbor? What would you do?
