Re: The Live aboard stereotype.

Yes I believe you are correct. Moving on to more important things. Like selling the house and getting rid of all that useless land crap I have accumulated over the years.

Re: The Live aboard stereotype.

It appears so.

The main reason I joined this forum was to gather knowledge to prepare for my transition to the cruising/live-aboard life. But have become disheartened by all the negative...

Re: The Live aboard stereotype.

Definitely don’t care how I am viewed in the social ladder. I too have spent my whole life climbing that damn ladder to nowhere and am looking forward to shorts, a worn out tee shirt and flip flops...

Re: The Live aboard stereotype.

I am not sure where you have gotten the notion in your head that I have a problem with “cheap liveaboards”. Like I replied to you before If it neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg then live at...

Re: The Live aboard stereotype.

Look, I am a free market capitalist. I have no grudge against a marina owner doing what ever is best for his business and profits. What I do have a problem with is the stigma that will be attached to...

Re: The Live aboard stereotype.

Exactly!! This is my point. And this is what I would like to change. This is why the term “Cruiser” was coined. An attempt to detach themselves from the live-aboard sterotype. Well like it or not...

Re: The Live aboard stereotype.

You really are a hard headed individual. I don’t care what marina owners use a policy and or why. If you would like to discuss this please start your own thread. The purpose of this thread was to...

Re: The Live aboard stereotype.

I will concede this is a valid argument if the stereotype of a live-aboard is true. Which brings us full circle back to my main purpose of the OP. Not all and I would venture to guess not even a...

Re: The Live aboard stereotype.

I went back and the only explanation you give is that Joe Fancy Pants will decide to take his boat elsewhere if said marina has low life live-aboards there. As I have explained there are waiting list...

Then why would you waste your time reading and replying to it? Move on and get in with your adventure before your 100 years are up.

Re: The Live aboard stereotype.

His marina does this 6 times a year. Why would you own a boat and use less than that? That’s how it becomes a run down wreck. But even twice a year I think would be enough to prove the boat can move...

Re: The Live aboard stereotype.

I hardly think that California’s homeless problem is from too many high paying jobs. Your facts about the job numbers and new housing numbers may be facts about San Francisco, but I highly doubt the...

Re: The Live aboard stereotype.

Why do you and others keep insisting on clarifying the difference? What does it matter, is one a better person then the other?

Re: The Live aboard stereotype.

Re: The Live aboard stereotype.

Sailorchic34, you would be suspecting wrong. I am a firm believer in the quote from Thomas Jefferson “But it does me no injury if my neighbor lives on his boat or only visits it once a year. It...

Re: The Live aboard stereotype.

Re: The Live aboard stereotype.

“We” are those of us here on this forum who if in large enough numbers could change the way marina owners look at the live-aboard community.

I could ask you the same question. Who is this...

It makes absolutely no sense at all. So your saying...

Re: The Live aboard stereotype.

Calif.Ted, The cost of Texas waterfront property is not even close to comparable with California waterfront. And yes we have some very nice waterfront living here.

Re: The Live aboard stereotype.

I agree with you, and I’m sure that is the context Calif.Ted refers to when he uses the term “live aboard”. The problem is the more the term is used in this context the more it gets accepted in...

Re: The Live aboard stereotype.

The situation you describe is created by the State in which you live in. Not by the live-a-board boating community. I spent a couple of months with my cousin in Long Beach this past year. Homeless...

Currently we are just weekenders but within the next two years we plan on becoming full time live-a-boards. I have read quite a few of the threads on this forum and others on the subject and there...
