Regarding your post...
I think I said plainly what my point was above. I want for dreamers and people reading my advice blog to prepare themselves before they commit to their dream and have it go upside down quickly, like I see all the time in SoCal marinas. I've seen it for decades... its always the same story: they don't understand the costs or the commitment and they bail within a year or two, especially when the wife starts complaining about her mall money going to waste on their "mistress".
The numbers are approximate but close to real I think.

Wow! sure glad my wife shares my passion!
I was a dreamer, for many years a dreamer, finally tired of being spectators my wife and I went to a boat show. She saw her dream boat and after some thought I shared her dream even though I had a different boat in mind. It took us three years to get it together to aquire the boat and now we have done six summers with it and looking forward to many more.
Yes we are governed by seasons 49 degrees north but we are in the PNW and it is paradise in the summer. Our boat is trailerable (MacGregor 26M) so slip fees have been transient but we are contemplating annual. We don't drink, smoke, gamble or do drugs or play golf or have kids, we just have our boat and ourselves and the islands to explore. We are getting on in our years and we can't take our money with us so we are enjoying the fruits of our labor while we still can. I don't regret one penny I spent on our boat and I intend to spend a lot more on it, just for the fun of it!
