Floating Homes

Today was another scorcher so it was nice to get out on the water again and find a bit of a breeze. No plans in mind, just puttering about looking at boats in the marina and homes on the shoreline. This old retired bait shop sits at the end of the dock where we keep our boat. I often wonder if there is someone living in it.

I treasure the folks who live on their boats or in boat-houses which have no means of locomotion, like this one in the marina:

Or this one:

The live-aboard boats are always intriguing as well:

With this lifestyle, guys don’t wear ties, and women don’t wear skirts or high-heels. I like the marinas and the environment for probably the same reasons their owners do: it is quiet and peaceful. It is a place to chill out and to simply avoid the rat race. If I ever get the opportunity - I may live in a boat or house-boat.
