There's something romantic about the whole living on a boat thing, but i think the reality of the situation would kick in pretty quick for the non-swashbuckling people like us, i think. It's just not that comfortable. It's more a thing you would do if you own a boat and know you're just going to live somewhere for a short amount of time, then you can save some money i guess. Rent for a spot in the marina is usually cheaper than an appartment.
