The former would appear to no longer be possible. Starting mainland waterfront is at least double what our main home and Arcadia camp would bring in.

The latter, however, seems to have a fair amount of considerations as well—both financially and in terms of weather, maintenance, etc.

Keeping the parameter of limited finances, what are people's thoughts on 1. Options, 2. Locations to winter (assuming, of course, that Winni is our home), or 3. Locations to move full-time that offer good weather/boating/lake or water activity year-round?

i have long considered this as well, as I have long way to go. I have thought of keeping my lake place for 6 months and renting out something for 6 months, either the same place or in different places around the country or even just in the same southern state. Who wants the upkeep and all the extras of owning the place (clothes, maintenance, utility bills, insurance, and everything else) when you can rent it furnished for 6 months and move if you want to the next 6 months
to me that can keep it exciting, renting for the 6 months depending on where could even be cheaper than the 6 months of owning
