boat life...i'm curious.... (140)
Just about bought a sailboat this year, very close to purchase I realized all the costs involved, really it was not in my plan after all, I came out with a better design that I plan to build later with more space for living...
Very nice I have to admit Living on the water but most sailboats floor plan for living is not for me...

ladyfingers: Don't think I'd like to live on a sailboat, but almost got to live on a houseboat once. Was so disappointed when I didn't.
a house boat would be ok, i guess...but you would be limited in your travels...it would'nt be very sea worthy...

jlw45: yes, i've seen something about them, in the UK....they look interresting....but they could'nt be very sea worthy ??..
they are neat though

Definitely not seaworthy.
There are over 2000 miles of navigable canals and waterways in
the uk, so plenty of scope for moving around.

I have been sailing a few times and loved it.nothing like the wind in your hair,the smell of the salt water,fresh air,sun on your face...yes i think i could.But i would have to move it to a warm place all year round.

PollyWolly: Oh yea...............Could do that, but would want good weather always....
you have to pick your window, as they say....but no matter, you're gonna run into it every now and then...there's nothing like a good storm to make you wanna kiss the ground...

I know a couple who lived of a sail boat together for about 19 years. This is what I would call the ultimit test of being able to live together and get along, especialy when at sea for months at a time..
It isn't for eveyone.
For me, it seems like too much of an inconvinience if this is your only residence.

I suppose that I would have a little dinghy tied to the back to travel on....
Do you suppose that's why Noah's Ark ended up in Turkey
wasn't very seaworthy?:

Sounds good, but with a max permitted speed of 4mph, it'll take you a while.

I guess it is just up to the lifestyle you choose. A lot of people here on the island live aboard boats, but it is a lot of work and it isn't always as simple as pulling anchore and sailing off into the sunset. yea, there would be inconviniences...but, a house can be an inconvinience, at times, too...
