I think that's how a lot of dreams progress. I didn't get into sailing though until I retired. So I guess I'm going in the oposite direction. I've been lining up little gunkholing trips along the outer banks and sounds that I could never do with the NS. If I get the big-boat-bug I'll try to talk some friends into chartering. I think I might still be ahead of the money curve and enjoy the best of both worlds. I think...

Joe, I know you are skeptical, but imagine this alternate reality. A family spends years hauling its M17 to all the incredible lakes and ocean sites in the US, Canada, and Mexico, etc. Because they are young and tough, cruising in a tiny little thing is a piece of cake. They find the ultimate places to cruise along the way, so when they get on in years and the kids are gone, and a little space aboard makes life easier, they plop a Nor'Sea in the water and sail off into the sunset (or find that ultimate marina). Fantasy, yes, and I did not do it, but such a thing has been suggested. Tom On Feb 2, 2012, at 6:10 AM, Joe Murphy wrote:

Joe, I wonder sometimes about the other way around...I wonder how many NorSea owners used to sail M-boats..... It very hard to beat the versatile M17.. Bones
