I would live on an Ocean Liner. They have hanging space....and a shower.

Is there mildew and a lot of humidity in San Francisco bay? What could be done sustainably to lower maintenance for mildew?

I would love to be able to do this I started saving money for my first boat :)

how much to stay in harbour or at bouye
can a pension do it or does it cost too much -
Can you live in a cold frozen winter climate on a houseboat year round ? Or will a houseboat sitting in frozen midwestern river water damage it?

Nice video! I found it interesting the "types" of eclectic people who are living aboard there, in the sense that they're living aboard in one place, somewhat permanently. I'm living aboard in Panama City Florida and most of the people here are more transient. While some liveaboard for years, they migrate back and forth; here during hurricane season then South to wherever in the winter. While it can be cheaper, sometimes it isn't due to working on the boat to keep it seaworthy for distance cruising. Thanks for an interesting video!

THIS is at Shilshole Bay Marina in Ballard near The Chittenden Locks in Seattle. It is a wonderful Marina with Fantastic Staff! I lived aboard there for 3 years on C dock aboard "ARCHANGEL". It is a great place to live aboard having the Golden Gardens Park at the East end of the Marina...West Marine Store.....restaurants.....Fishing Piers one at each end...and the Chittenden Locks just blocks away as well as Downtown with all it's wonderful shops and restaurants/ It is one of the most expensive in the area.....but what a great place to live aboard... I live in Wrangell Alaska now and going to start a Oyster Farm.....Heaven's Bay Zimovia Shellfish LLC PS Knew several of these people in the Video.....Hi Neil!!!! Tim

Awesome!

Great insight into a little known community around us. Thanks!

Do it- you won't regret it. I have lived (and worked) on my 35' sailboat for 17 out of the past 20 years, and even began racing it a couple of months ago. It has all the comforts of home less the property taxes and yard work.

Take a sailing course. Visit the harbors in your area. See if anyone needs someone to sail along with them. You will always find someone that will take you sailing with them. Have some fun make friends with those that sail.

Kristina, this is beautifully done.

Ew, bigot.

Don't have the advice you want, as the wife and I are just considering the idea of living aboard in the future, but, I'm glad you beat the cancer. It's unfortunate many of us, myself included, lose enjoyment because of the "race", and it takes something like a glimpse of death to remember what life is really about. Wishing you continued good health!

a side note, for anyone criticizing that adorable couple, you must be young b/c for those of us a bit older know how difficult it is to find, build & maintain a successful loving relationship. It takes a great deal of work and sacrifice. As I realized how small their living space was, I couldn't help but marvel at the affection and comfort between them. It was beautiful and truthfully, finding a soul mate is the greatest achievement -outside of children - of anyone's life, so why criticize? :)

Hi all, I admire these people greatly! I recently survived stage IV metastatic cancer that I was told was terminal. 3 years ago I was living the American nightmare, participating in the rat race to accumulate as much crap as I could before one dr. appointment made it all irrelevant... My biggest goal transformed into squeezing a few extra months out of life before I got very lucky. I'd luv to experience sailing. I'm a writer & code engineer so I'm mobile, anyone care to share advice w/ me? :)

Someday I will live on a boat myself. Currently calling a 34 foot RV home, full time, but I long for the ocean. I hardly find these people "weird" and see the smaller space as SO much more desirable than some huge multi-room house you have to keep clean and heated/cooled. Oh how I envy you Live-Aboards!!

Thank you
What is it really like to live on constantly moving floors, with limited space to move about, and room for only the bare essentials? What is the live-aboard community like? What causes someone to decide to live out his or her life on the water. The Liveaboard Community wanted to get across to viewers what it feels like to live on a sailboat or a motorboat, the cramped space, the constant movement, the lack of frills or amenities in contrast to living on land. As well as,to capture the individuals that decide to live on the water and the community that support them, who are they, where do they come from, and what do they do. We think that it is important for residents to know the different types of neighbors that live in their community. We will show you the out of sight neighbors whose gates are always locked and depending on the tide may be entirely out of sight when driving by. Enjoy the Ballard Live-Aboard Community!
