I just cannot imagine having a boat like that. I mean I can, but my gosh, my family moans about not seeing me now and I have a tiny boat. If I had a big boat that I could live on 12 months out of the year, sell my house, have accommodations for my dogs, all the extras, I think I can quickly get use to a boat like that.
Thats so funny you should say that Barb, I dated a guy who was a Captain and had his boat in Freeport, I remember when we first started dating, we were out to dinner, it might have even been our first date, or second, just in conversation I asked where he lives, and he told me he lives in Queens, but then he said he usually lives on his boat.

So now I'm thinking to myself, what kind of a homeless person is this guy (I met him in the midtown Manhattan bldg I worked in at the time, he was one of the union guys that do the sky scraper windows), who on earth lives on a boat? In my head I'm thinking this guy is sleeping in a sleeping bag on the floor of a row boat lol. But then I saw the boat......I WOULD LIVE ON THIS BOAT IN HALF A HEARTBEAT. It was 49 feet long, upstairs had a full kitchen and nice size living room, downstairs was 2 bedrooms, one with a kingsize bed and full wall unit with a stereo and tv, the other bedroom had bunkbeds, and there was a full bathroom. AWESOME. We dated for about a year and spent plenty of nights on that boat, it was so cool, only problem was this giy used to show up late (tell me he's picking me up at 1 then show up at 4) , or not show up at all and come up with some bs excuse so I dumped him. I didnt miss him too much but I sure missed that boat!!!
