I can’t divorce my work schedule yet— What do most do about short return trips to home? Marinas are semi cost prohibitive on a temporary basis. Not real comfortable w/ leaving it floating at anchor. (Seems like leaving a kid alone, probably good, but horrific if Murphy strikes)

If you can cruise somewhere with cheap marinas, you can make this work. Here in Panama, some are very inexpensive.

Where we live in Florida people leave boats anchored un-attended for weeks and months, even years. Creepy. If your boat will be somewhere with cell coverage there are devices like Boat Command and Yacht Hub (and many others) that will monitor battery levels bilge levels, position , entry, temperature etc. It gives some piece of mind. Some brands can be connected to Starlink .
