Default End of the Cruising Life

I hope it's okay to post this.

We don't want to, but we have to sell our floating home. Cathy
suffered a back injury and unsucessful surgery in the 90's. We were
told a day would come when she couldn't handle the movement and such.
We were hoping that day was years away, but it looks like it's now.
So, after almost 3 years of living aboard and not as much cruising as
we'd like, it's time before she gets worse.

Our plans are to get a motorhome and play "land yacht".

We're currently in Pensacola, FL

For all the details.

I too had a back injury which threatened, in my case, to put me in a
wheelchair, but surgery addressed mine. I do understand that a life at
sea with the constant motion and danger of a very abrupt motion is out
of the question now. OTOH, there is a whole world of land there for you
two to see now. Be sure to come out to where I am now - NM. It's not the
ocean, but it has its own charms.

I do suggest that you move almost everything off the boat and then
reshoot the images for sale. You are embedded in your home but to
others, it looks overcrowded and shabby.
