Re: Civilized liveaboard?

Ya, Larry always leaves out some of the most important parts of the
"Liveaboard Simulator." Stuff like, "Okay, now sail your apartment to a nice
anchorage and have sundowners." :-)

We accept the limitations of a boat because of the benefits we derive from
it.- Hide quoted text -

I never saw dolphins swimming by my front door although there are some
ducks by the pool occationally. At my place I speak casually with
some of my neighbors but we really don't talk much, at the dock, I
don't live there but I have talked extensively with live-aboards
there. They are always looking to help out and be friendly. From my
apartment the view is okay, over the carport is some nice hills and
always good weather, at the marina there are beautiful boats, birds of
all sorts and a real close sail to a perfect sunset nearly every day.
