Default Place for year-round liveaboard on a budget?

Any recommendations for a year-round place to moor (US Atlantic Coast or Gulf)
on a budget? Livable in winter and not a steambath in the summer. I'm single,
no boat yet, and plan on something 27' to 32', to start with. I'm not ready to
go. Just at the daydreaming stage. Thanks.

Buy a house. Who would want to live on a 27-32 foot boat. You would turn into
a fool like the idiot that posts on hear who lives on a 27 foot derelict.

Excellent! There's plenty enough derelicts down here already.
May I suggest the south of France.

Spend a couple of months in the Bahamas, move on to Turks & Cacios for a
few weeks, then on to Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands
for a month. From the VI, south to St. Martin, St. Barts, Saba, Nevis,
the rest of the Leewards should take a couple of months. Then hop on
over to St. Lucia for a few weeks, on to Bequea, then Salt Whistle Bay
at Mayreau and a month on the hook in the Tobago Keys. Do the rest of
the Windwards to Tobago. Should keep you busy for about 12-18 months.

I'm not trying to leave the rat race behind. I just can't afford both rent and
a nice sailboat. I'm just a simple working guy. If I was the religious type,
I'd probably be a happy monk somewhere if I could still get the internet and
Directv. I've given up on women. More trouble than they're worth.

Well then pay rent and buy a POS sailboat like a Coranado.

I want to know why the Florida Keys Don't appeal to you, this
knowledge should not be kept a secret, other sailors heed your
insights, is it a btdt?
