I agree. Very good article. I agree that it sure is a whole different life style. A lot of sacrifice on a stable life stile. I think that is why so many people only go for a certain amount of time. The mentality is different because they know they will be going home soon.

Yep. People cruising for a season see their trip more as a vacation and relax and spoil themselves more. It's very different from the day to day life on the water, especially when you need to work along the way and fix your own boat problems. We still all keep doing it, though, so the pay off must be worth it! :-)
