It amazing to live on your ship, and I can recommend.

There is an EMAIL list devoted (mostly) to living aboard. * You can
browse the archives and see if you are interested. * Much of the
discussion relates to issues here on the US east coast.

Hi Wayne!
Thanks for this! I'm seriously trying to grow relations to other
people interested in the liveaboard lifestyle!
by the way...chek out my ferry!! :-)

cool?

It appears to be a beautiful ship, at least the top part! I visited
Copenhagen a few years back, and recognized the building in the
background. Copenhagen is a beautiful city, with a beautiful harbor.
It seems as though there are a lot of folks living in their ships
along the canals and the harbor area.

Hi John!
WHAT...do you mean by to top part !?!?!?!, ;-)
I agree, our yacht is not the most beautiful ship in Cph harbour, but
it a real ship- and ready to sail!
Many houseboats in Cph do not have the engine anymore. Normally they
are pulled out to buil more living space.
In that way our ship stands out!

Copenhagen is a great city, actually nominated as the number one city
in the world when it comes to lifestyle!,(through Forbes)

If you're new here, you'll soon realize that Harry Krause knows all
there is to know about everything, just ask him. Also, if he doesn't
own it, it's not worth owning. If he doesn't do it, it's not worth
doing.

HAHA!, must be a spammer?

Lived on board vessels while working. That would be totally different than
a vessel where you could enlarge the space. Seems to me that a lot of work
would be required to just maintain it and keep the systems going. Plus,
getting under way, and being under way opens up a whole new can of worms
with weather, other boats, obstacles, and acts of God. Sitting in some
dock
somewhere may be okay for a while, but dockside was never known as a good
neighborhood. I know there are a lot of people who build houseboats of a
fashion in the US Pacific northwest, and they like it. Just think there's
a
huge difference between life on an anchored/docked craft, and one that is
seaworthy and spends any time asea.

Hope you have a lot of money, because one way or another, it takes a lot
to
keep a boat going, no matter what size.

Hi Steve!
Good point! Living on a ship/vessel demands a lot of time and effort-
and money!
but hey, its also a great lifestyle!
We are docked in Copenhagen and rent for mooring, power, water etc.
And actually it's not bad.
Prices about the same as keeping a house running!
Do you own a ship yourself?

Soren, ArnoII

Actually, I just have a hole in the surface of the water that I throw money
into.

I have a 16' Lund fishing boat. *I have been on "boats" up to 200' long, and
was once stationed on the Brown and Root BAR282, then the largest ocean
going pipe laying barge in the world. *I have been stationed on smaller
barges, tenders, and boats. *I spent years working on offshore oil
platforms. *It was high adventure. *I do not think I would like to live full
time on a large vessel, either as owner or hand. *There's just too much work
to keeping it all going, too many things that can go wrong, and dangerous
situations that are a fact of every day life. *Plus, I'm too old now.

hmm...I see your point.
i'm sure, if you sail everyday many places, its dangerous, expensive
and constant work!
As mentioned we have lived on our ship for a year now, and we are
absolutely not shocked.
but it can be quite rough when the wind hits 25pr. sek!!!

Søren

sounds nice!! howz about some photos?...good luck....

No, no. Don't take me wrongly. The picture shows only the
superstructure, so I couldn't see the hull. She's a fine looking ship!

My two favorite cities in Europe are Prague (Praha) and Copenhagen.
Sadly, they are in that order. But, that puts Copenhagen pretty high
on the list!

Hi Søren,

Very nice idea. You will have to compete though, with the SSCA and the
likes or even Yahoo groups like
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/captains_admirals/
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/livingaboard/
The members-lists of these groups form the answer to your question
"if you know people who are living aboard, etc..."
There is also a nice website with an overview of (Dutch) yachts making
their big trip at this very moment.
http://www.ziltewereld.ziltmagazine.com/kaart.html
Some are making a small Atlantic circle in one year, and get back to
their normal lives afterwards. Others have an open plan with no end
date, like us. These are the people who sometimes made the big switch,
from house to boat.

Of course the ones presented on this world map or the members of a
Yahoo group are only a fraction... The other, really interesting
couples and seetramps you'll only meet when you are out there yourself
and just run into them them by chance cause they anchor next to you or
you meet them in the immigration office. The people I like the most
are the couples and singlehanders that have been sailing for 10 or 15
years, who went round like 4 times with a joy that you can tell from
the way they look you in the face. I love to try to get close to these
people and find out what makes them tick. They won't fit in a neatly
described Yahoo group. Would be something like herding cats...

And of course you'll have to beware for the always present armchair
sailors who claim a position they didn't dare to earn in real life,
using their keyboard and their vivid imagination.

Just my 2 cents worth... :-)
Enjoy the freedom.
Len.
