You are soooo wrong! If your first priority is a sailboat large enough to
make it a seaborne reflection of your shoreside residence filled will all
the luxuries and frivolity of said lubberly abode then please STAY ashore.

He's wrong only if he's alone doing it. Adding a second person at least
doubles the "stuff", and very few mates (of either sex) are as
dedicated, so the required few concessions add to the clutter.

Add occasional family and friends and the requirements pretty much
double again (though that space can be reclaimed between times).

At work, I'm training my replacements, will be outsourced by the end of
the year. If it were just me, I'd sell the house, cut the lines and be
in the Bahamas on Xan by this time next year.

But having my lady with me makes it so much better, so at most we'll be
on a sabbatical of a few months down there.
