Just curious aside from wanting some practice, what is needed to Captain a 45ft to 55ft Hatteras, Carver,Trawler etc. 45-55,000 displacement? Of course for those of us considering new single independence in our mid 40's.
For those that are liveaboards please elaborate and your age, why you did it, pro/cons etc. Your experiences.
For me it would be getting rid of most posessions, still working a tele-communiting job from PCB to JAX "around the FL Horn" depending on the weather/storms. Picking a good marina evey six months and the freedom to go when I want to go/dive. As long as I can take a taxi to a major airport for work I'm good. Bike to the local grocery, have a secure marina. My recent 47 made me think of my "bucket list".
