Default Living on a boat: winter??

Something else you must consider is locating a marina that will let you live
aboard. Liveaboards are becoming increasingly discriminated against. This is
not necassarily because of the marina management, but because some
government agency controls their waterfront lease or operating license or
use permit. Living aboard in the USA is becoming a never ending search to
find a facility that allows it. Many facilities that allowed liveaboards in
the past are discontinuing the policy rather that fight the political
battles involved..

If you are in a municipal waterway, sewage will be a major reason for them
to refuse to allow you to live on your boat.

I speak from experience in So. Calif. and in Washington state.

It's a great life but it should also include the receational use of your
boat or you will be looked down upon as another boat bum.
