    All,

    Yes, I would certainly take advantage of the Cobra offering but that's only
    an 18 month proposition. Need to time the retirement with the departure to
    maximize the benefits. I believe there are also certain stipulations with
    Cobra (needs to be the same type and amount of coverage as before leaving
    the company, etc).

    Apparently there's no cruising association or boating advocate that
    underwrites health insurance coverage for cruisers?

    So what are folks doing ... are they doing without? I mean ... $475USD per
    month per couple seems like a pretty outrageous expense for the average
    cruising budget. I guess I'm just starting to wake up to the fact that
    having a fulltime job is almost like wearing handcuffs!!

    Best regards,
    John
