Around here the costs alone to join a 'Royal' club at near-retirement age will buy you a pretty decent boat...

A 3-month Introductory Membership is around $750. The courses aren't all that expensive.

Is this a solo liveaboard situation?

Yes.

Does your club/or other available moorage locations sanction liveaboards?

I'd leave this area when the time came. I was thinking of spending my time between Montreal and the Maritimes to begin with, and heading to the Caribbean and further afield, eventually.

Budget will have a big bearing on how successful this plan is..

I have some flexibility -- I could wait a bit longer to retire if the numbers don't look good enough. My plan is to go at 62, but I could go at 65.
