Now you're talking my language!
Although I'd probably lean more towards a Fleming 58  🙂

Spend a few years sailing around the world in a fully crewed Nordhavn 120.
 
I have a goal to do this, but if it ever happens, it will more likely be on a Nordhavn 60 shown below...and we will be spending winters in the Caribbean and summers in the San Juan Islands, with a Great Loop trip here and there....and without a crew.  
 
 
 
 

Would hire assistants to follow me around, telling me how awesome I am.

@tsw 8.5 nice read.  You also left off that you make some kick ass hot sauce!!

Very cool! 

Cool Change.mp4 Last night the marina where we keep our boat hosted a Christmas decorating competition.  My wife and I busted our butts trying to get our boat Cool Change onto the leader board.  But holy cow were we wrong.  We didn't even get a mention!  Some of theses people went all out in their decorations.  The winning boat (which I do not have a photo of) had a 'Polar Express' theme, with a train on the boat and showing the movie.  It was legit!  I used a Light-o-rama on Cool Change to keep the music and lights sequenced.  We love how it turned out!  The video has Super Mario Brothers music in the background because I was standing close to a boat with that theme....the lights are not sequenced to that music.  You just can't here ours because the sound was coming out of the back of the boat away from me.  Tons of fun!

The river will freeze here at some point.  But the marina put lots of de-icers in the slips, so ice should not be a problem.

Most of them are all winterized.  Some pull them for the winter, others (like us) will leave them in the water.  The marina uses lots of de-icers and the water is typically warmer than the air.  Snow can be harsh on the canvas, so we will setup some bracing inside the cockpit.  We have to replace the entire canvas on the boat in the spring so if it gets jacked up this winter we don't really care...
