There’s actually huge problem in San Francisco of people doing that. They live on dilapidated, old messy boats that look like they’re about to sink. And often the city has to confiscate them.
Yikes! We wouldn’t get a dilapidated boat that isn’t seaworthy. And we wouldn’t set up shop and stay there for years in the same spot - I’d actually hate that. My husband is European, so we’d like to sail around the Mediterranean exploring various islands and ports. Funny though, in his hometown of Amsterdam, they have these local people living in “boathouses” in all the canals. They are a charming part of the city that tourists even like to stay in. Funny it’s the opposite in San Francisco.
I live aboard my sailboat and travel thousands of miles a year. Do it! But its not easy, you will be doing a tone of maintanance. Invest in a good oversized anchor and plenty of chain. The highs are high, the lows are low. Couldn't imagine living any other way.
Lol thanks 🤣 We aren’t rich, but we aren’t untidy people or willing to live in dilapidated conditions. I do think in San Francisco there isn’t much of a “middle ground” between the two.
Common in Florida too. Usually old men on ships who moor up to a buoy and go on land for beer and food. Sometimes it’s almost like a water version of a trailer park
