I may not have chosen the right boat and location.Middle of Morro Bay, 26' sloop. 12 volt electricity only, row home in all weather.
It was really beautiful and a nice place for loud (acoustic) music but the second winter was quite enough.
I liked to do detailed acrylic paintings at the time, and my home was never still. When the wind blows hard it still makes me a little bit dizzy sometimes.
I like to cook and had no refrigeration and an alcohol burning camp stove.
The only other things I found to do in the evenings were listening to music on a car CD player and reading (it was a great 2.5 years for reading :)
On a twenty six foot boat your toilet may be under your pillow.
I also woke up once or twice to an otter eating live crabs just outside my window, and I could leave the boat on my surf board to get to one of the best spots around (still it took just as long to get there as to row then drive, and once I was there I was committed, no backsies).
Everything you own will smell of mildew (tell the women that it's 'boat smell', don't use the M word).
