We decided before we retired that our Nor'Sea 27 was good for us. Jill could handle it, and it can go any place in the world, at 4 knots or 65 MPH. Moved aboard full time in 96, cruised 24/7/365 starting in 2004 to late 2008. It stores in a yard close to our Az. place for $50.00 a month. We trailer it to places we want to cruise, and now cruise about 50%. (see our latest at; https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnA9GMvTHKtb_x_dLUW2yOGUd_UGzcgRa

So talking about retirement cruising, been there and doing that!! AND IT'S GREAT!!!!!
