The Essentials of Living Aboard a Boat - Part 4 - Choosing a Marina

w/o being too much of a dick....the guy @1:20 sounds like he bought a boat to make friends and have his own little clique. Sort of a "I'm gonna buy a Jeep so I can wave to other people with Jeeps".

-It's a boat thing, you wouldn't understand. <sarcasm>

@N2thedrink - not at all. he has done more for liveaboards in this country than almost any other person, working with young liveaboards and helping them be successful, and single-handedly taking on attempts to quash the lifestyle and tag it with all of the environmental problems faced (including - yes, oil). he is a person who has earned great respect in my book.

isnt the best thing to do for living aboard would be to find a spot where you can leave the boat in the water all year long, and where it would only cost say 500 a year lol, in a perfect world,

Basically, it means refurbishing the bottom - usually just cleaning/power washing, sanding and painting the bottom.
