Year: 1993 Language: english Author: Frankel M.L. Genre: History Publisher: International Marine Publishing ISBN: 0-87742-375-X Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 244 Description: Liveboards fit no molds and defy mold generalizations. They are endlessly interesting — and interested. Forever learning, liveaboards are undaunted by mountainous waves or creeping dry rot, by seasickness or subzero temperatures, or by social ostracism. Age and ill health fail to stop them, economic distress doesn't slow them down. Ingenious, intrepid, and indefatigable, they are gregarious loners, pioneers in an age-old quest, while helping and encouraging others along the way. Many liveaboards were practically born on boats, while others have just found their adventurous spirit in middle age, setting off for new horizons in their fifties and sixties. Living aboard or just dreaming about it, these mariners constitute a very special group with fascinating profiles. In spite of the great diversity in this lifestyle, there is a remarkable consistency in many of their views about their boats, boating skills, occupations, mates, pets, fears, bureaucratic hassles, and the special rewards of living aboard. A growing number of Americans are living out a fantasy by living aboard boats. Modern boat technology, hectic life in the i:ity, the price of waterfront property, and more free time have combined to make living aboard a safe, practical, and immensely enjoyable lifestyle. Many migrate seasonally, searching for the perfect summer, while others stay put and enjoy the serenity of the waterfront, where life flows gently with the tides. Eighteen years' worth of letters and articles submitted to Living Aboard Journal, along with hundreds of surveys, provide a rich and detailed picture of the liveaboard community.
