Living aboard a sailboat requires no additional skills than living aboard a
house or condo, tent, or camper, or anything else.

It requires one additional skill.
Balance.

I disagree. Neal probably has to work really hard at living
on his Coronado. Think of all the compromises he's got to
make. Also, think of how few places will let him stay for
any length of time, given the way he pollutes.

Each has a place to sleep, a place to eat, a place to potty (hoipefully).
If you prefer cedar buckets, you can have one at any
of those places. Ambience does not a sailor make. Sailing is the skill,;
not living aboard. We all know you know how to live
(in a limited sort of way). What we ask if: How are you going to prove
you really know how to sail?

Living aboard one's vessel is the ONLY way to get to know her
as well as you should if you are going to do any sailing in other
than sheltered waters. Living aboard indicates a commitment
to the sailing life - not just sailing as a temporary diversion from
a pathetic shore life.

Your argument is unfortunate because using the same logic I could
just as well say you can be a successful married couple without being
married and without living together. Your logic, like that of most women,
is seriously flawed.

It's so easy to see how jealousy brings out the worst in
some people.

demanding for years. It is clear that Booby is a self-centered
little crybaby who thinks the world revolves around his
somewhat rotund person. It is a sad state of affairs.

Booby's main emotion is that of jealousy. His secondary
emotion is that of trying to attain a little of the glory because
he thinks everyone is as jealous as he is and if he gets a
boat, car, stereo that he thinks is impressive then people
will be jealous of him. He lives to make people jealous but
he fails miserably because he has not a single original bone
in his corpulent body. He doesn't seem to realize that nobody
gets jealous of a copycat - especially a copycat who does a
poor job in the copying.

What a load of complete crap! I lived aboard for 10 years and could set sail
within 2 minutes at any time. I've seen and been aboard a lot of "live
aboard" vessels in my life.... some do keep their boats like a disorganized
pig sty... a lot are maintained ship shape. To utilize a fraction of the
sailors that live aboard and keep their vessels in disorder and don't sail
much to make such a sweeping condemnation is about as retarded as you can
get. Where do you get this viewpoint on live aboards... form the dock side
sailing experts that go out to race once or twice a week?

I've seen something supporting Binary Bill's statement but it is a
generality, not applying to everybody. So, how about somebody running a
poll of the NG. Who lives or don't live aboard and how many hours per
(day/week/month/year) do you actually sail?

An astute observation Bob. Perhaps those of us who live abord know less the
abilities of their craft, as they may be inhibited by the fear they may
damage their homes.

Ha ha haa hah hah hah hahah! Now, that's funny - he says after coming
back from sailing for three or four days and reading so much useless crap
from the lubbers of the group and especially from the Carrolls who don't
sail at all.
