Curious to see how many live a boards use the forum......
how's about a hands up?
Me 5 years.
I have lived aboard my Pearson Rhodes Vanguard in Pueget Sound, Wa USA
5 years now.
I was overseas many years ago and met a pommy, his wife and a new baby, living on a 19ft boat on their way around the world!
Mad, stupid, or brave, it's got me
I never did hear what happened to them, but I imagine the 1st rough passage and she probably said something like; "me or the boat"
Included in live aboard heroes would have to be Larry and Lin Pardey who did many miles all over the world for many years in Seraffyn a 24.5' Lyle Hess designed boat.
Not to mention Ian and Jan Mitchell in a Top Hat 25, "Caprice". She became pregnant somewhere in the Indian Ocean, then travelled the rest of the world circumnavigation with a toddler. They recently released a book, called "Two in a Top Hat", which is well worth the read.
I chose the boat lmao and never looked back
It wasn't that bad stayed on board through a few cyclones but got a topside rubbing from a motor boat in oone of the events, living aboard is a good character building exercise
