That's cool. I love just relaxing with e-bay. I'll spend hours on there just staring at stuff.

Is your boat smaller or large?

It's almost thirty foot. It's heavy, something like eight or ten thousand pounds.

That's neat. Decent sized boat. What do you do with it? Fish? Relax? Is it big enough to live on?

I have been living on it for three years now.

That is pretty freaking cool. No rent, no property taxes. That's brilliant.

Two rules of boating: don't sink and don't start a fire.

Those sounds like reasonable rules. :) Is it fun living on a boat? Do you prefer it to a traditional home? I've toyed with the idea of living out of a motor home but never done it.

yes, it is fun.. i suppose... my boat is actually a bit similar to the SS Minnow from gilligans island.
