What are the pros and cons of living on a boat???
Living on a boat is a unique experience. I can describe it for you, at least from my perspecitive, and I’m not sure which parts you would consider pros, and which would be cons. Do you want to be a real live aboard and cruiser or do you want to be a party boater, not interested in real cruising? The needs are different. Will you be single handing or with a companion/crew? Different boats suit different people. My husband and I were aboards for some time. We lived on a 35 foot sailboat. We rarely went to a marina – we anchored most of the time and dinghied ashore. We walked to do laundry , carrying it in backpacks and also sometimes pulling a little cart with us, and also walked for groceries. We carried bicycles with us on our sailboat, and dinghied them ashore when distances were too great for walking and when there was no public transportation. We used two small solar panels for power – just enough to charge the batteries enough to start the engine after a day of charging. Wind power
