Re: Planning to Live Aboard from Massachusetts

I'm taking a bit of time off on the active hunt, I need to replace the engine in my car this week, so I have a pretty busy period coming up.

Re: Planning to Liveaboard from Massachusetts

I've taken a look at a half dozen boats so far, but they've all been in more rough condition than I'm willing to dive into. I'm headed to the library on Friday to grab a few books and start reading :)

Re: Planning to Liveaboard from Massachusetts

That certainly makes sense. I've been addicted to the everyday mechanics of living on a boat lately, like daily maintenance, how much attention is required when sailing (autopilots, balanced...

Re: Planning to Liveaboard from Massachusetts

So many great comments and great advice, I don't know where to begin!

Wait, yes I do. Do you have any recommendations on which books/authors to pick up? I realize that reading will only take me so...

Re: Planning to Liveaboard from Massachusetts

Aw man, my first Private Message and I can't even reply to it because I'm not "trusted" yet. I wish I knew what "trusted" meant. The forum FAQ didn't answer that one for me.

Re: Planning to Liveaboard from Massachusetts

That DOES sound like we have similar histories. A Pearson 30 looks like a pretty solid bet, simply because there are SO MANY of them. I'm kind of approaching this like buying my first motorcycle:...

Re: Planning to Liveaboard from Massachusetts

Thanks for the warm welcome, and all the advice heaped into one! I know how frustrating it can be hearing the same questions/concerns/etc over and over and over from every person who has an interest,...

Re: Planning to Liveaboard from Massachusetts

Re: Planning to Liveaboard from Massachusetts

I've been looking at a few abandoned boats at a few marinas near Boston (some haven't even been abandoned, but the marinas essentially take possession of ships that have...

Planning to Live Aboard from Massachusetts

Hello! (ahoy?)

A little about me
I'm finally coming to terms with the fact that I don't like staying in one place for extended periods of time. I'm 27, and for the past decade (rounding), I've...
