How to live aboard a boat

by Charles Johnson

Created on: November 10, 2007

The idea of living on a boat is the dream of a lot of people.When the
time comes to really doing it,some people may change their mind.You
will have to change your life style completely.When choosing a boat to
live on,the boating life has to at least be a big thing to you.Some
people will never be able to adapt to it and others will feel right at
home.If you are going to use your boat for entertainment as well as a


home,you have to make sure it is big enough for both.

You will have to give up a few comforts such as how you sleep and eat.
You have to buy food more often due to not having enough space to store
it.You will have to learn how to sleep with the wind and water moving
the boat.I have done this a lot of times.Sometimes I sleep a lot better.
you will have to get a memory foam mattress.The spring type mattress do
not work that well.This type worked best for me.

You should never try to live on a boat that is too small.This will add
to you being uncomfortable.You should always check a lot of boats to see
what size works best for you.You will need a boat big enough to have a
room where you keep your personal things put away.

You should always keep the engine room clean so there will not be any
fumes in the rest of the boat.You should store oil,gas and other
things on outside of boat in a safe place.
