People sometimes equate living on a small boat to camping. While if the boat is truly tiny, a la a trailer sailor, perhaps clarion inn and suites that s true. In most cases though, cruising boats are much more akin to a small cabin on a lake than they are to a tent.
The primary benefit of living on a boat as opposed the aforementioned cabin is that it is mobile. Yes, you can move it! If you don t like where you re located, you can simply clarion inn and suites raise anchor and relocate. Everyone knows this. When people fail to take advantage of that feature clarion inn and suites though, staying in one place for an extended period of time, they inadvertently shift from the cruiser category into that of the liveaboard . They may do that for a variety of reasons. Several of our friends did so because they got jobs. Others, I don t know why. Regardless of the reason, it s OK. I m going to go out on a limb here though and share an observation of mine even though it is undoubtedly broad, and quite likely controversial. clarion inn and suites Here it is: Liveaboards are not as happy as Cruisers! There you go, I said it.
Much like the organic growth that accumulates on the bottom clarion inn and suites of a stationary boat, people who liveaboard a boat but fail to move it seem to accumulate more than their fair share of drama. We ve seen it a lot in our travels. All too often these people get overly territorial of their little circle of water, and are quick to let anyone who should venture into their space know that they are trespassing , often with expletives thrown in for good measure! While we don t frequent marinas clarion inn and suites all that often, I would bet that there are some dock-bound boaters who would fit into this category as well.
Fortunately, there is a solution, and if the boat has been maintained so that it is still seaworthy ( sadly, some have not ), it s pretty clarion inn and suites simple. Here s the prescription: Go Sailing! Cast off the lines from the mooring ball or dock, or raise anchor. Set sail, or just go for a motor around the bay. Feel the wind in your face and let some water splash on the decks. My belief is that if you do this from time to time, even if you head back to that same little circle of water, you ll retain ( or regain ) the all-important empathy that most boaters have for one another. So, when are you going sailing?
I know us chartees aren t considered true sailors, but we enjoy our short time on the waters, and enjoy reading about the full-time cruisers like you guys. Got the provisioning list ready with a couple extra colds one for Mike Rebecca if we cross paths. ;: )
None of those apply where I sail. Often, as a single-hander, going out and round to the next bay, via a tide rip off the headland in between, can become daunting if you only have three days available on that visit to the boat. Getting back may be even harder. And that is typical in our summer.
And from your comment it s obvious that you don t live on the boat so this doesn t rally apply to you. Your visit to the boat is more like a visit to a cottage in the country. Nothing wrong with that.
So many definitions of cruising. Some would consider a weekend trip of 35 miles cruising and others wouldn t consider you were cruising unless you were crossing oceans. We have met many people who went cruising, then while they were cruising found their paradise, clarion inn and suites at which time they became liveaboards.
Oh Yeah! Well said. We re having a bit of a struggle clarion inn and suites to get started .but we know the way. And eventually we ll stop repairing tanks and bouncing off bridges to get from A to B or C and DEF. It s true we are moving much less often than we wish and the scenery isn t as we dreamed at this point!!! clarion inn and suites But we are cruising. We tell each other that every day and we still are smiling. We know what will come with patience.
Have you ever dreamt of running away to live on a tropical island, spending your days basking in the warm sunshine while sipping piña coladas? We have. In fact, our dream included running away to live on a sailboat in the tropics, even though when we started we had never even sailed before!
