How often did you have to go back to land to get clean drinking/showering water supply?
I'm fascinated by the boat lifestyle because I live in a van. I think living in a boat would be charming but a little more complicated than van life.
I just want to point out that the other commenter's experience isn't universal. My mom lived on a boat for years and loved it. I couldn't do it long term as there's very little space available, but it doesn't have to be a negative experience.
This particular marina had bathrooms with showers up on land which the majority of, if not all, residents used. There was also a restaurant on the water with bathrooms. Electricity and tap water were available at each slip. Heat wasn't necessary, because it was Southern California.
I never knew how much it cost, but I know for a while she lived there while working as a waitress at that same restaurant, so it couldn't have been too expensive.
Funny that you mentioned the public washroom. I avoided bringing it up because we were told (under no uncertain terms) we weren’t allowed to use it. Back in the day, an openly gay couple was not common, I guess. So, apparently, straight people peeing and pooping and showering nakedly was fine; but me doing it was “pornographic”. I apologize to everyone I accidentally introduced to hot gay porn. Sorry; my bad.
