Moon...lots of people do it both ways. It's all good!!
Especially if you are just cruising in the States...leaving the boat somewhere for a few months is no problem but it does get a bit pricey since you will be paying higher rates than for a full time slip at home...and the prices are a bit higher most places than in your neck of the woods.
We still had our house when we went cruising as it had not sold yet...and it was always a hassle and a constant worry so we were glad when it sold. Other friends rent their place out to generate some income while retaining ownership...but you need someone to take care of the place and deal with broken water pipes at 3am.
The most important thing is to find a cruising lifestyle that you are both comfortable with and can afford. If you do go with the "leave it there and pick it up for the next segment" plan..always allow a week in your plans to deal with new found problems. Boats just don't sit...they start to deteriorate when not used.
