So you should endlessy wander? You travel to visit and discover, to broaden your horizon, not to wander forever towards one. If you want to invest in a house to make money then thats fine, but the bubble is bursting in realestate Bob. Living on a sailboat is about freedom. Joe Joe Dream on. Unless you are connected to this drivel by a satellite connection from some distant, secluded anchorage, siping martinis that some minion made, your freedom is a myth. Freedom is not having to suck the blackwater out of your tank, paint the bottom, change the oil and fill the tanks. Freedom is owning the dock, the boat, a house, condo in Aspen and a travel agency. Freedom is someone else getting up to check the lines at 0200. Living on a boat is the pain that some of us ordinary people are willing to put up with to have a small taste of freedom but freedom it ain't Too bad you missed out on those house deals! |

Too Bad? Last house I bought, I sold it 4 years later and doubled my
investment. Wireless is here, the price will drop and I will indeed be in a secluded cove or lagoon sipping martini's soon. Best thing is I will be making good money while I do it. Capt. Poop sucks out the waste, I dont even have to be here. Mexicans paint the bottom and I do not mind tinkering with engines. Shoulden't you be out raking leaves or something? Joe |

Some of us love it, and don't see the "pain" you speak of. Seahag .. |
