As former boaters, staying near a large harbor evokes good feelings. We often muse about returning to the cruising life, but perhaps as power boaters, not as sailors. So, let’s examine our options:
With our current budget, we figure this one is affordable. 
Okay, no too roomy, but affordable!
Next up, what if we hit the lottery? Here’s an option, though Diane wasn’t too enthused: 
Much more commodious, but it doesn’t have that “je ne sais quoi” that Diane is looking for.
Now, if we inherit a country, or something like that, here’s an option: 
That’s Katara, a 408′ luxury yacht, built for the Emir of Qatar. It only accommodates 28 (it’ll fit our family), but requires a crew of 60 to sail her. Maybe if my consulting project is successful?
Now, if you have a ship like that, you have to get around on land, right? Here are a couple of offerings we found: 
Yes, that’s a Bentley SUV! But perhaps something more modest might be your taste? How about this one? 
That’s only a Rolls Royce sedan. Kind of inconspicuous, but it gets you from here to there.
Enough of that. We hope you had a great weekend. Au revoir.
But the important question… Did you find the language school? I hope the first day goes well!
Great question! Yes, we found the school and we had our first day in school (I’ll post later on that). We were kind of like kindergartners on their first day … but we made it! We’ve thought several times about your Costa Rica experience. Very cool!
