He eased into retirement, working part time as a factotum in a Sausalito law firm for several years and living on a sailboat in Sausalito harbor. A late-in-life marriage in 2002 brought him back to live on dry land, this time in Sebastopol, CA. When Hardin fully retired at the end of 2004 he and his wife moved to Mexico and are enjoying life in Yelapa, a small remote fishing village south of Puerto Vallarta.
