Now if you already own a boat, and you really want to own a bigger boat and the only way you can justify owning that bigger boat is to live on it. Well now becoming a live aboard has just gotten more realistic. We still have not confronted the realities of living on a boat but at least we are past the realities of being a boat owner.
Now we have to address things like, how are you going to shower, how are you going to empty your holding tank, how are you going to do laundry, how are you going to keep your clothes from being wrinkled and damp, how are you going to stay warm or cool,( you can’t just plug in 3 space heaters to heat a boat, there aren’t enough amps on the dock) were are you going to store your stuff, how are you going to refrigerate food. Do you own a pet. Will the marina let you live aboard.
Can you deal with sleeping on something that’s moving around all night, boats constantly make strange noises, pumps, wind, waves, and rain are much louder in a boat.
Even people who love their boats have a hard time becoming a live aboard.
YES, I live on my boat. I have lived on it for 25 years. I have seen a lot of liveaboards come and go. A full third move off before the first winter is over, the second third are gone in 3 years. The remaining third seem to love living on a boat and only give it up when their health fails.Statistics: Posted by DavidR — Mon Dec 11, 2017 5:51 am
