It's interesting that Americans go for van's and RV's where as Europeans trend toward sailing. Very similar play.

I met some folks in a RV park in Mazatlan. They had a cruising sail boat. They sold it because the cost of a night or so in a yacht harbor was too extreme and the worry while they were traveling in the area was too great. They had a van and seemed content.
Sailing is a much more dangerous game then driving.
I think that sailing requires a whole other level of income than living in a van.
