Its a beautiful thing to live on a boat, BUT!!! It was not the cleanest experience I've had. For example, after a while you seem to get annoyed with the little amount of space you have. Even though you might have a large boat i seemed to get Claustrophobic. Another thing I didnt like was all the birds. I never had a problem with birds but after a while I realized how annoying they sounded. They are little things that I think might not seem like an issue but after a while they will drive you crazy.
