Hi everyone!
I'm currently living in Copenhagen Denmark. 1 Year ago my family and I
bought an old passenger ferry- The Arno II. The ferry used to cross
the german border and sail drunk people to buy cheap alcohol. A
strange concept, but a typical business model for us scandinavians.

It amazing to live on your ship, and I can recommend.
And I'm very qurious if I can find other people in this forum who has
experiences or interest in the liveaboard lifestyle?

Lived on board vessels while working. *That would be totally different than
a vessel where you could enlarge the space. *Seems to me that a lot of work
would be required to just maintain it and keep the systems going. *Plus,
getting under way, and being under way opens up a whole new can of worms
with weather, other boats, obstacles, and acts of God. *Sitting in some dock
somewhere may be okay for a while, but dockside was never known as a good
neighborhood. *I know there are a lot of people who build houseboats of a
fashion in the US Pacific northwest, and they like it. *Just think there's a
huge difference between life on an anchored/docked craft, and one that is
seaworthy and spends any time asea.

Hope you have a lot of money, because one way or another, it takes a lot to
keep a boat going, no matter what size.

Hi Steve!
Good point! Living on a ship/vessel demands a lot of time and effort-
and money!
but hey, its also a great lifestyle!
We are docked in Copenhagen and rent for mooring, power, water etc.
And actually it's not bad.
Prices about the same as keeping a house running!
Do you own a ship yourself?
