Living aboard in Grenada..Questions

[geomorrow]

Hello All,

My wife, little one, and I have tossed around the idea of buying a sailboat and living aboard. While we have yet to make that leap, I recently got into medical school in Grenada and we are once again thinking hard. We have never lived aboard a sailboat so therefore we would like to rent for a term and experience the pleasures and displeasures to see if this is truly for us. Does anyone know if this would be a moderately sane proposal? Also, is it a possibility to rent a sailboat as you would a house? Are there any specifics about living aboard in Grenada that would hinder us?

Thanks!

Not sure if there is an off season in the charter industry there, but you could ask and see if you could negotiate a bargain. Still... wouldn't be cheap! I imagine just a 3 week charter without going anywhere would give you a pretty good idea:
* getting laundry done back and forth to the boat.
* getting groceries/garbage back and forth to the boat
* getting water to the boat.
* Heat, humidity, dampness
* safety procedure for the little one.
