Ah, I wasn't selling the positives but they're very important! To be on the water... Away from street lighting and see the stars... The water and the weather... Birds and (round here) seals... Being connected to the tides and looking out every morning to see the river and an ever changing view... Living on a boat with a working history... Being (somewhat) out of the rat race and valuing different things... Minimising and prioritising... The main motivation is the wonder of it all and I'm excited to think it might be possible! The financial bit is concern about whether we can really do it. I know it isn't 'sensible' in terms of use of money but the positives are worth it to me!
Now that's a better starting point. Now the difficult bits.
1 Finding a decent boat
2 Finding somewhere to keep it that meets your criteria
3 Finding a way of supporting yourself and being able to enjoy 1&2
