Up in the middle of the night, wonder what that was for.

Oh yes, I know - to check the forum.?

Been on board continuously since 22 Oct 19 (even more continuously now in lock down); had intended to return to the UK to the other boat on 31st March but that is now in abeyance TFN. Don't own a house so not sure what that makes us?

Homeless

I don't actually label myself as anything. The boat to me is a floating caravan which moves when we want to go somewhere different for a while. As far as I'm concerned, the discussions on liveaboard forum are in general (excluding Star Lord trolls) more relevant to those who spend extended periods on board, rather than weekend sailors.

Is this thread by any chance a "Turing Test" initiated by an algorithm?

?I was bored and went fishing ?

 

[greeny]

does that make you a fisherman? or do you have to fish every day to be one.

I think it was you who alerted me to the sport! I am not a natural fisherman... I am usually dangling on the hook ?

My home is where I sleep. It changes frequently as I move about.

It has been a semi converted Mercedes 308 LWB van, an Iveco properly converted Race Truck with bunks, both of these often parked in race circuit paddocks across Europe.

Then again, months at a time have been spent cruising in various boats, from a 40 narrow boat on the inland waterways to several yachts in most waters around the UK and Ireland.

Currently in lockdown in Wellington, NZ. We have a spacious 32 foot steel boat nearby which we have lived on. Now we have renovated an apartment below where the kids live we dont need to live on the boat.

When I am on one of the boats for a while, I consider myself to be living aboard.

Like Bluebottle answered in the Goon show :-

" Bluebottle - what are you doing in that cupboard? "

" Everybody got to be somewhere. "

I was asking a question not making a point. But the point is open for discussion... HMRC will tell you where you live if it escapes you memory. Your answer does not cut the mustard imho.

Daft question.

I hang around here even though I’m clearly not a liveaboard but learn a lot from those who are as we share a lot of the same issues and interests and almost nobody makes “them and us” judgements.

Someone else did not read the original question! Nothing daft about the question. Them and Us were not on the menu.

If you had read the whole thread you would not have bothered commenting. Unless you are as bored as I am!

Is someone who holidays - or spends half the year - on a boat a Liveaboard?
