We think the water in the port might not be so good everyones feeling a bit undynamic today,
we decided to eat at the casino cafeterria, we packed the rest of the fresh salad rolled some endives in ham sprinkeld chees over took the rest of the grilled potatoes and a coke a cola bottle of red wine 1 meter of bread and off we went! (that would have cost 12 euros each if we bought it there each!!And we would have had to walm it in the microwave as well!!)
We are mixed group one lives aboard a 2o meter boat another on a small first 6 meters! we were from Germany scandanavia France Italy and England. we all have in common small bugets and no fixed address,i think we all have boats papers a bank account and driveing licence.BUT should we??(The Italian hasent a bank account as he fled from his wife!)
THE QUESTION:How can you own a boat without a bricks and morter address somewhere?? When i bought a boat with the old blue book part one i had to give an address which was writen into the stamped box on the back as new owner.
NONE of us have any property which is registered in our names anywhere!
Lets take someone called "Man of straw" Lets say hes 21 years old his father who he dosent see much of remarries. The son "man of straw" reterns to the "family" home after compleating university to find its sold!Finds the new address goes along.The new woman opens the door hands man of straw a cheque for £10000 and tells him to piss off!
The flat he stayed in as a students gone he goes to a hotel.Next morning he goes to Maldon where he knows theres a harrison butler for sale looks it over and buys it then and there puts his things aboard his new home.But what address will he have put on the ships papers????
He has no address but that of the boat he lives on.
He changes the cash into Swiss france travelers cheques buys a second hand seafarer depth, sextant, hand bearing compass & some frey bentos pies(He dident know anything about food then even added salt and ate cornish pasties in pubs!!)
There were up to date charts he left for France.After a year he found himself up the arno where then he could tie up to an old pontoon under trees keeping the hot sun off(and dripping sap on the deck!!)only a short walk into Pisa where then he could climb the leaning tower enjoy all the anceint history freely (have to pay today)
The walled city of Lucca a short train ride away provided lots to see the narrow streets cooler in the summer heat,there was is also a very good cantina for lunch and a suprisingly inexpensive returant by the prison that has had many famous people eating there and it was very good!
It was in a nearby cafe he met the owner of an English language school as he was English, the two spoke it seemd a teacher was needed urgently and man of straw thought this a good opertuntiy and agreed to start the next day!
All he had to do was to wander along to te admistration fill in a form and be issued with a tax number.
WHAT address could he give????? They wouldent accept the "second old pontoon after the first bridge"
Later man of straw now speaking resonable Italian took the train to Rome where hed been offerd another teaching job he was interveiwed over lunch salary agreed one year contract and a place for the boat!
Man of straw stayed at the cafe as his train dident leave untill 16.00 he orderd a coo bottle of est est est some cheese olives and more bread & thought of all the wonders he would see in that great city!Sleeply he boarded the first class carrage de rated to 2nd as it was old but very comfortable without air conditiong he dident like anyway!
He fell asleep! then sudenly he woke looked at the platform it was Pisa! He rushed to leave the train which being an express would stop next in Florence if it started!! In the rush he forgot his jacket!!In which was his passport and driveing licence!!!!
If he had lost his licence how could he have replaced it without a fixed address?????? Being Italy his jacket was kept but his papers put in a post box and eventualy arrived at the British embassy in Rome who kindly sent it up to the then counsulate in Pisa!
We just made this adventure up but man of straw could and dose exist! The question is if you only have your boat as your home and have as we all have a free place without a post address how can you manage in todays society??
No tax number, no driveing licence no PADI no boat papers no bank account!!We cant see a way around it without "useing" an address but thats NOT legal!!!!
Dose any one have any answers????? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
