Oh, there are a few true hermits who don't seem to need
money. Their boats look it. More power to them.

A boat is a LOT of WORK!...especially YOUR boat, the one with the clogged
injector, stopped up head, leaky (pick anything that can leak here),
broken (pick anything that can break here). I don't think it's a lot of
freedom, at all.

Doing it my way has a great advantage, the freedom to walk away without
worry. Some times I don't go to the docks for weeks, sometimes months.
I don't HAVE to check on boats I don't own. THAT's freedom!

I agree with that; however i would wonder how it is with sailboats as
compaired with power boats.
I have owned, leased, or been in charge of, a fishing boat,
exploration boat, research vessel, for a really big part of my adult
life. ya ive learned how to fix almost everything with duct tape and
wire. but then i have abused the boats ive been on to get the job at
hand done. are sail boats really that much more work than an old
30'-50' salmon troller or a 100' king crabber?
