If you were going to live somewhere else...

Anchored off the Club Med in Martinique - works for me.

To my the idea of staying in one place all the time.... well really doesn't fit with having a boat and cruising.....

Don't get me wrong. I've lived in many different countries including Greece, Turkey and many European countries all the way to Norway and loved it. But that was by land and Air not by sea.

Jim Morris has a island rock song that says... I like it hot with a little sea breeze,.... and a little bit wavey... Ice (fill in the blank) Cold Beer, if you please,... 75 is a little too cool for me.... That well defines what my ideal cruising places would have... but I will not grow local barnacles as I tend to move around a bit. A month is about a good stay in any one location.

Philippines, or the SP in general, keeping in mind that generally you can't stay more than 90 days in a French zone. You could look at the Pacific coast of Costa Rica if you want to be only a few hours flying time from North America.

Fiji, Canada or Argentina would all be on my short list. Fiji for the adventure. Canada for a new passport and Argentina if I were to build a boat.

Having never lived near the ocean I think anywhere will be just fine with me so long as it is on a boat. I look at pictures of the ocean and the coast and it is all so foreign to me it doesn't even look real.



People who live near the ocean may not realize how strange it all seems to someone who grew up further inland. Everything is pretty overwhelming when it is all new, and I imagine it will take me quite a while to get so familiar with the ocean that I need to settle down in one place to be happy, I doubt that would happen for the rest of my life at least. I can just sit in the cockpit of my boat for hours looking at nothing in particular and be content, so I am sure that just about anywhere my boat could take me would be amazing.

North Korea. Year-round sailing, lots of tiki bars, and if you're into smoking weed, well, we've all listened to Dark Side of the Moon while smoking some Pyongyang...
