Wonderful trip to Antarctica. Very nice. I've owned two sailboats and an RV and was so very happy to get rid of them and missed them so much when they were gone. There is just no middle ground.
I did decide that if one is to own a sailboat, living aboard is by far the best way. Keeping it up with occasional visits is just too hard.
I think we paid maybe $150-$200/month slip fee. It would be about $700 or so now in Chula Vista but that includes a lot of amenities. We've got more coastline.
A few years ago we took a few day trip on an 1840's schooner, Stephen Taber, (https://www.stephentaber.com) up in Maine. It was wonderful and we're likely to do it again. No radio, no phone, no TV, no electrical or mechanical... all sail and excellent food and just travel from anchorage to anchorage for four days. It was really nice after some adjustment. We're getting kind of old for it but may do it again.
