I purposely didn't give you any clues or hints. Think about it some more.
It's not important that you post it here, it's important to give it some
thought.

It's ok Joe, they'll let you sail on the cooler portions of the lava.

Amen!

It's nice to have a boat thats more than a weekend toy costing money
isn't it?

No more School Tax, no more property tax, a home that rocks you to
sleep.

Take 10 min to go sailing, great sunsets and sunrises on the water
every day.

Only us liveaboards enjoy the true value a fine sailing vessel
provides.
The liveaboards around here never move. They would have to move al the
junk in the cockpit and all over the deck. In my experience it's the
racers that get out quickest, most often and in all weather.

I think I'll stroll the decks now, perhaps feed the birds and have
another cup of fresh Hills Brothers coffee
Hills Brothers......gag
up on the forecastle.
Foredeck, the fo'csle is inside.
Charlie the crab man should be making his rounds anytime now. Going to
see if he has a soft shells for us.

Texas.

I mustered on a forecastle for 4 years... I know what a forecastle is.

So you should endlessy wander?

You travel to visit and discover, to broaden your horizon, not to
wander forever towards one.

If you want to invest in a house to make money then thats fine, but
the bubble is bursting in realestate Bob.

Living on a sailboat is about freedom.

Dream on. Unless you are connected to this drivel by a satellite
connection from some distant, secluded anchorage, siping martinis that
some minion made, your freedom is a myth. Freedom is not having to suck
the blackwater out of your tank, paint the bottom, change the oil and
fill the tanks. Freedom is owning the dock, the boat, a house, condo in
Aspen and a travel agency. Freedom is someone else getting up to check
the lines at 0200. Living on a boat is the pain that some of us
ordinary people are willing to put up with to have a small taste of
freedom but freedom it ain't

Too bad you missed out on those house deals!

Freedom to do both and take my home with me.

You assume I miss long commutes, yard work, fast food, routines, solid
ground.

I'm fullfilled by perfect sunsets off the bow, the sound of the waves,
the smell of the water, unblocked breezes, and having the ability to
provide everything I need from my home.

I'm at the perfect marina on a lake where lubbers pay 2 million
dollars to have a view as nice as mine.

Lake?
My highest value or goal in life is to provide and protect my family
and enjoy being with the people I like. Living aboard gives me more
freedom to do that. I've had the land with barns full of stuff, and
it's just that .....stuff. Some people get so much stuff they become
slaves to the stuff. Jesus did not have a bunch of stuff did he Bob?

A good Sailboat with the proper equipment needs nothing but the winds
and a sharp crew to provide everything a sailor needs to survive. Is it
free loading? Maybe, but thats why god gave us wind and the oceans.

Joe

Light up another one.

So Katy
 

Too Bad? Last house I bought, I sold it 4 years later and doubled my
investment.

Wireless is here, the price will drop and I will indeed be in a
secluded cove or lagoon sipping martini's soon. Best thing is I will be
making good money while I do it.

Capt. Poop sucks out the waste, I dont even have to be here. Mexicans
paint the bottom and I do not mind tinkering with engines.

Shoulden't you be out raking leaves or something?

What? You doubt what I say?

It is different on a ship. On a small boat it is called the foredeck.
It would be pompous to call it a fo'csle. We muster the ship's crew on
the fo'csle. As in: "Fo'csle berthing party close up." Big difference
on your little liveaboard. "Coffee is served on the foredeck."

When and where did you serve on the old girl? BB35? Trade?
