I have often wondered how often you move - and how long you stay in
any one place.

Probably one of those things where ya gotta be there to understand it.

Hi, Richard, and list,

We move as often as we're moved (pardon the expression) to do so. Being
full-timers, unlike those on their boats for a month, like our new friends
on Conchessa, or a season, like many in Georgetown we met last winter, we
have no particular urgency. By contrast, Conchessa was on the move, back to
a base (Hopetown or Marsh Harbour) very frequently. They fly home today
after their month here, and do that routine three times a year, basing (cuz
they have a permanent mooring) in Hopetown.

In Lydia's case, in particular, she's always wanted to immerse herself in
the local culture, and, here in Marsh Harbour, she's found a touchstone in
(see arkwild.org for more info) the local VERY endangered horses, so is
volunteering on a daily basis for the next while. In the meantime, I do the
usual "cruising is..." puttering, and try to catch up on some of my
subscriptions I let slide entirely for the entire time of our refit this
summer.

So, in this case, since we're committed to a flight on Dec. 17, not to
return until Jan. 17, and when we do, will have some fairly fiddly
electronics installation to attend to, we'll be here, likely, until the end
of January or so.

Generally speaking, though, we move around at a couple-of-days pace if we're
only going to see something in particular, as seen in our last couple of
logs, and, if there's someplace appropriate, we might use that as a "base" -
such as here, and, later this winter, Georgetown.

It's all what winds your anchor chain, I presume, as each cruiser's style is
going to be somewhat different than the next...
