Becoming a Liveaboard

I could go on forever about why I chose to give it all up to live on a sailboat.  But I’m not, because everyone has ADD when it comes to the internet, so here’s a few key points (although I’d be more than happy to discuss it with you):

  • Freedom
  • Simplicity
  • Adventure
  • Uniqueness
  • Sustainability
  • Self-reliance
  • Better health
  • Morale
  • “Coolness”
  • Being out in and enjoying Nature
  • Diversity
  • Excitement
  • …and I must stop now…

Quite a few people have asked me how they can research becoming a liveaboard.  If you’re stricken with this disorder as well, here’s a few things you can look at; they really helped me through it:

As always, I’m available for questions and/or criticism.  I like questions but I really love criticism.
