Destinations/itineries for cruising without stopping?

Starting from the UK, I am planning to set out on several years of liveaboard cruising. Prepared to be very flexible about cruising grounds, but the key thing is that I want to avoid having to stop and haul out (or get a berth) for a season. This rules out the UK and northern Europe, and it seems the Med isn't great out of season either. I'd be hoping to go further afield anyway.

The Canaries seem to be the closest 'all year' cruising ground, and of course the full Atlantic circuit is possible. But beyond this, what would you guys recommend if you wanted to set out and not have to stop?

Re: Destinations/itineries for cruising without stopping?

You can hang out near the equator and avoid cyclone seasons in the Southern Hemisphere, or so south to avoid them. You can keep moving as long as you want to, but eventually you will welcome the opportunity to bring your boat back up to snuff.

You will find that your patterns of cruising and your desires will change somewhat over time.
