We bought a small boat (23 ft) and sailed her at every opportunity,
including trips of at least 2 weeks. We have recently purchased a larger
boat. We plan to live aboard her, beginning next spring, this includes
wintering in.
We built a wooden sailing dingy for day sailing, in the event that we wont
sail quite so much when living aboard.
I hope you take some longer trips aboard a sailboat before deciding to
entirely give up the land.
Having said that, we also are hard bitten. Enjoy your boat, however you
decide to approach it.
I also know even our little boat had more room than our land based
bathroom.
check into power issues, or perhaps I should self-sustainability issues.
Our take on these things is to rely as little on shore power as possible,
particularily as in the summer we will be on a floating mooring rather than
a dock.
take care
