[C320-list] Living aboard

[Robert Seastream]

The liveaboard concept is being considered because our daughter is  
through college and out, leaving us in a 2000 sq ft house on 2+ acres  
that we should downsize.  My wife is retiring from teaching in June of  
2010 but I've another 10 years to work up here so we can't do the  
snowbird thing (NH in summer, FL in winter) yet.  We'd certainly  
upsize the boat to about 40 feet, and it might even be (gasp) a  
catamaran.  So, condo or boat?
