Are you guys going permanently to the sea or are you going to have a home base close to the coast ?
We are the opposite,My son helped me hang this the other day and I have 2 more to go.
I'll be piloting my ship mostly from the recliner.

Can't see the pic, BH. Shows up like a broken link. What is it? BTW, I read that there was a drug bust, and potentially a 'golf cart' chop shop discovered at The Villages!
Going to sea as our only home for now. We are committing to sticking with it at least 2 years. And if we still like the way things are going, we will continue as long as our health permits.
No house/home base. We originally had planned to have a home base coastal somewhere. I was never too keen on that idea, as it required leaving a house behind when we cruise. I have no interest in being a landlord, and didn't want to be leaving a vacant house sitting around. The coastal house was mostly a concession to my wife. And it always complicated things. My idea of our 'coastal base' was someplace inexpensive. Maybe even an hour or two from the coast. Her idea was 'waterfront', with a canal and a slip behind the house. So we could keep a boat at our house. I saw all this a money drain, and would leave me with a 50k 'project boat'. Rather than a 100k-200k, nearly ready-to-go boat.
Anyway, she came around. We've had some fairly young deaths (late 50s), in our circle of friends. She wants to make this happen ASAP, and realizes that taking the 'house' out of the equation makes to much simpler, and very doable. She also has soured on her job-- she is an administrator at a medical facility and there is not to do, which absolutely drives her crazy. Her facility is about to be bought by a hospital, and her job will probably be eliminated anyway. It would be nice if they would lay her off, as opposed to quitting. She is keeping her planned departure secret from her employer, for now.
So, the short version is the boat will be our sole residence. We plan to rent while we seriously shop for 'the' boat-- Extended Stay hotel, airbnb, condo rental, whatever. Something we can do week-to-week, or month-to-month. No leases. I think one month will do it. From the rental/hotel, we will move aboard the boat we buy. So, we don't know exactly where we will start from, until we pick the boat.
Right now, our focus is on getting our house sold.
