Why Stay On A Boat #1

The Joy of Missing Out.
When you cherish moments of aloneness.


​Sarah and I enjoy each others company, we are happy together. We stay living on our boat because we enjoy the moments, hours, and days that we spend alone, just the two of us.

We interact with the world in our own, purposeful way. There is no TV, no radio stations, and our one phone is nearly always off. People don’t stop by to visit and we have no way to visit them (no car).

We read alone or to each other, we watch downloaded movies, write blogs and yes, even laugh at kitten videos on facebook. We have internet when at the dock and use it often, but as we travel we can loose contact for many days.

Don't bother calling.
Our boat is this fantastic, warm Hobbit hole where we can relax, filtering out the rest of the world whenever and however we want. We are poster children for introverts, so this life fits us nicely. If it gets too busy or too noisy, we can just untie from the dock and head for a quiet bay.

Does living on a boat require a solitary life style? Absolutely not. There are many places where quiet would be the exception because boaters tend to be a gregarious bunch. You can always find a busy marina and become a part of their close nit community or, like us, squirrel yourselves away among some charming islands where solitude is the norm.

Living on a boat gives you the choice, and if it turns out one lifestyle doesn’t agree with you, just pull up the anchor and go discover a whole new place that does.
