Livaboard simulator

In article , says... (snip) The Livaboard simulator while entertaining isn't really much of a simulator. It ignores *every* positive aspect of boating. If you really want to simulate something you capture every aspect of it, not just the negative. Stephen Larry was making a funny (which I published with Larry's permission in the NYSC Newsletter some years ago). Fact is, if you are living aboard a 35 to 40 foot vessel that is tied to the dock and never goes anywhere, then Larry's simulator is spot on. But if you are a cruiser moving from place to new place all the time, then it is irrelevant even if you sepnd a few weeks stationary.. Yeah, like I said, it's entertaining, but not realistic. Of course the main advantage of a cruising boat is it's mobility, same as a trailer or motor home. Both are compact to make for better traveling economy and so are not as spacious and luxurious as a house. There is much humor to be found in the compact nature of the boat/trailer. The opposite would be funny too, like if someone tried to travel and explore while dragging their house around with them. Stephen |
