This has been a year in the making, actually a bit longer as we decided almost two years ago to eventually retire in Key West on a boat. Not in a house, because we are concerned that rising sea levels will eventually declare Key West, the other Florida Keys and many other places, unfit for living, cancelling out any investment in real estate there. Being from Amsterdam, we figure a boat is an investment unaffected by rising sea levels, so that became the idea. Neither my wife nor I have ever lived on a boat, but how hard can it be, right?
This is the marina we have a boatslip in, in Key West. We're all the way at the end, by the open water:
The main thing, judging from the (not so many - hmmm, wonder if that means anything?) blogs, youtube movies and other media, is that you have to learn to do with 'less stuff'. This should be easier in warmer climates such as Los Angeles, where my job is based, and Key West. So we're looking forward to making the move and adjusting to life on the water. We don't have any plans to do long distance boating yet, however 'the great loop' could be something that we could get into, eventually.
