You sound like my brother. He “lives” in Palmetto but spends 90% of his time on his boat, sailing to the Keys and beyond. (He just got back from a week in CUBA...sailed there of course). Drives back north once a year in the summer to see his son. Otherwise he almost never leaves the state, and no way will he come north for any other reason. Tough life, huh? But he earned it by spending 30 years in law enforcement and is truthfully lucky he got out alive. Y’all enjoy yourself and enjoy the warm sunshine.
