RV versus Sailboat

I have to admit I WAS VERY nervous about this RVing thing...I have alway traveled by sailboat and traveling on land is something alot different, but I love different...so I tried to be optimistic. When we left this last time we were going to be gone for about 2 month, but it was cut short due to the plumbing fiasco...we ended up only being gone for 10 days, but...I think I am going to love RV life.....of course I love to travel..see new thing and I meet new peeps, but traveling in an RV is ALOT different....so I have  been coming up with things that are the same and things that are different about traveling on a sailboat and traveling by RV

The same thing about them is they both move and you alway have your home with you, your very own bed, you're own sheets, towels, dishes and you know where all your stuff is! You can travel to different places in the comfort of your own home. That’s most of the of the appeal—getting to visit new places while carrying your home with you. 

But that's about all they have in common, of course the sailboat can only travel by sea and the RV by land. 

When you step out of the boat..if you are not at a dock...you get wet and you could drown...when you step out of an RV you land on solid ground, so you don't drown...that is a thumbs up for the RV! 

When we sailed and anchored up for a time or stayed at a dock...getting from one place to another was hard on the feet or expensive, you walked, biked or took a taxi. 

With the RV we pull a small car behind us so when we dock, we have transportation, it is a lot more fun to be able to see more of what is around....that is a thumbs up for the RV!

With the RV we can choose how far we want to travel in a day and we can choose when we want to stop. That does not happen in a sailboat, you are at the mercy of the wind and the weather, on the sailboat, your day is a full 24hrs...or longer..it depends on things you can not control...with the RV If we start to feel the itch to move earlier than anticipated, we start up the motor and move, regardless of the weather or the wind.

When you live on a sailboat weather is a major concern, we do not worry about adverse weather in the RV. We were very concerned when our boat was at anchor and we were ashore if the weather deteriorated or changed, inclement weather does not bother us in the RV, no leaky hatches, no bouncing or swinging with the wind and the waves.

Maintenance is required, of course, in an RV, but the cost is lower, and getting parts is so much easier!
That is just a few things that I thought about when we were gone. I did think up quite a few more, but didn't want to bore my readers (you are out there..right)...but

All in all, we are still having fun and that folks.... is what life is all about!
