I don’t need to tell you about Amazons stuff and things. But I will tell you that I went nuts on it and I should be rewarded for it.  Everything has to be marine grade. Loving on water is a constant battle with the elements.  To that end I will be taking a stab at…

Landcrabs, I’m doing this for you so you know where I am at in the marina. Also because Sweden is pretty great but there’s a thing about waving our flags there. Here, on the other hand, people proudly -and as often as possible- people seem to wave flags and being happy about it so I might…

We did it. We finally did it. After 7 months of thinking we should do it  we did it. 8 months of sticking it out renting at a place where the landlord most likely evaded her taxes through renting illegally, we got a boat. This blog makes so much sense now. The <title> especially. Landcrabs, sweet-water pirates,…

Checking out the interiors now. As a former planner (title only mostly) I like to plan ahead. While some prospect buyers may settle for inspecting the conditions of a boat, I like to measure it all out to gauge customization possibilities. That includes most crevices, nooks and angles.

Does this mean I can marry you as the captain of a sea-vessel? Maybe. We’ll find out. What it does mean is that we’re on the way to create a smart home on water…

Oooh, look at Dat Posterior. Baby got Stern. That name tho. We would have to do something about that. Iowa, come on. The boat is just about as long as the previous pick (which we had our eyes on for a long, long time). Similar engines. Similar layout. Fancier brand, I’m told. Half of it…

Bayliner has the layout we want, for sure. Decent brand, sounds like eyeliner, and relatively cheap. 2 bedrooms, a neat kitchen, bathroom seem futuristic. It’s a 2004 model. Not too many hours logged on the engines. Well kept. It’s a contender for sure. The selection we’ve found around the Bay area isn’t that great, surprisingly. Lots of…

Why get a boat one might wonder Why yes, why indeed …I may smugly reply as I’d avoid buying into the ridiculous rents one finds all over San Francisco while getting a boat on top of the great views lunch on the water might give me. Also I get to drill through walls if I wanted to – because…
