It's just my wife and myself on the boat.
We go up and down the east coast. North in the summer, south in the winter. We'll do two to four days offshore if we get a good weather window. Or sometimes we'll go for 8=10 hrs and then stop at a marina or anchor for the night. We did West Palm Beach to Chesapeake Bay non-stop once. That took 112 hours. We've been to the Bahamas a couple times. Stay there for a few months.
Didn't do much last year because of Covid. Had planned on going to Nova Scotia last summer but Canada was closed to boaters. We stayed in a small town on the eastern shore of Virginia last spring. It was a nice safe place to be during start of the Covid crap.
Planning on the Caribbean next winter, and then going farther south for hurricane season. Maybe Brazil?
We don't have a permanent port anywhere. We stay different places for a few weeks or sometimes couple months.
Running the boat is a lot of work. Its a bunch of systems to take care of. Main Engine, 12 KW diesel Generator, Watermaker, Navigation Equipment, DC Electrical, AC electrical, HVAC, lots of stuff to break.

Re: “Moved onto our boat.”
That's a fine looking boat! How many of you live on her? What are some of the places you've gone? Do you put into port every night, or do you sometimes head to sea on multi-day excursions?

I was just thinking of my brother and his wife who cruise for a big part of every year. Last year they had a hard time getting home from Thailand, and they've been more or less trapped in Fort Lauderdale for the last twelve months. Not a pretty picture.

I'm not sure if they'd be interested in owning a boat, but I'm sure the thought of not being hostages to the pandemic would appeal to them.
