Strange question really because you would think with all the planning and excitement you settle into the life style strait away.
I ask because even though we knew exactly what we were doing it still took me a year but my wife 3 years to really become accustomed to this life style. Now we both love it.
There has been more than once in the last three years we have lived aboard and cruised that we thought about giving it all up. My wife particularly found she missed friends family and her job.
Of others we have spoken to it seems generally agreed it does take about three years to fully embrace the life.
As Europeans it may actually be harder for us as we left and cruised in countries they don't speak English and the cultures are so different. We were also moving on to new places every few days.
How long do you think it takes to settle into the live aboard lifestyle?
