    Ack! I heard that! :)

    My wife and I are DINKS (double income no kids) in our mid-forties, and are
    looking to get into the cruising/live-aboard lifestyle for that very reason.
    Folks our own age are too busy, and when we finally do get together, all
    they want to talk about is moving up the materialism ladder a few notches,
    or complaining about the lack of entitlement for parents.

    So I drive 'em crazy by talking about boating!

    We both yearn for the day that we can casually meet up with people that we
    have something in common with, and info to share.

    The dream trawler is on the (other) computer screen as I write this!
