What do you do while your out there??

My wife and I are both 40, we have a 9 yr old daughter. Our plan is to cut the lines within 1- 1 1/2 yrs. After the sale of our house we should be able to buy a boat and live comfortably for several years.
However, as romantic as "sailing of into the sunset" sounds to us, we both know we would be bored to tears in about a week if we don't have "something" to do....plus I don't want my kid being raised thinking that lounging on a boat is worthwhile work.

So, we were thinking about some type of charity or church related endeavor. We found a couple in the SPacific who founded a group called
Pacific Yacht Ministries(Pacific Yacht Ministries). They organize medical/dental care for local folks, and that care is provided by American Dr's who stay on cruisng folks boats. To me that seems like a worthy endeavor.

I'm curious if any of you have participated in similar charitable type activities and if you have any ideas for us. Our goal is not to make $, although that wouldn't be bad, as we should be able to get by with our own funds. We need to find something to keep our mind sharp.
