Whats the worst thing about living aboard?

[ironmaiden]

be ruthless olive, start selling everything off and banking the proceeds, look at it and say "hmmm that will buy a romantic meal in a tiny restaurant in marseilles or somewhere" ........ or "there's a haul out in greece".... "ebay is a wonderfull thing. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Right then, Popeye's in the straights of Gib tomorrow, Biscay + Irish sea after that. Leaves me with 3 weeks to sell off his stuff (not worth much), and face his wrath when he gets back.
Might try Ebay for several tons of books + LPs. on the other hand, might just set fire to the house

Are we the only people who have a bath on board then? If I could do the photo thing, I'd post a piccie. (obviously unoccupied!)

I've been looking for one for ages. Anyone know who sells them apart from ebay?

Pity S/L went belly up, they used to supply them. You could try some of the older chandlers in Scotland, I know a lot of the Silvers had baths in them. Blethering now though coz they may not be even manufactured now.

Looking at the dangle berries hanging down from the boats of those who seem to have rooted in one spot . I believe that one man in Corfu had been dead in his boat for 3 weeks before any one noticed the smell

Pretty much what my wife did last year. I was working overseas and we had decided to go liveaboard and had found the boat, so I said look, everything I haven't seen for the last 2 years get rid, and then work your way down, 18 month, 1 year, 6 months. By the time I had finished 2 trips away, she had cleared the house, at car boot sales etc. You have to be brutally ruthless.

I work on the principle with clothes, if you haven't worn an item for a year, out it goes, oxfam shop or equivalent!
I am about to have a mega clearout of the boat when I return, I have heaps of "stuff" that "might come in useful" to dispose of, gonna have a dock boat jumble, get a bunch of us to do the same and shift it!

Lack of privacy can be a little tiresome at times. Its not like you can just shut your 'front door' - especially when its hot

stay away from my wardrobe !!!

Too late! Oxfam shop never looked better, big crowds too!
