Living on a marina is the least private place I've ever lived.

Sound travels across the water for literal miles. Anyone can hear you fart in your marina. Also your dog will piss too many people off. Boats aside, it's not wise to have an animal trying to live the life you're asking for, land or Water. Wait until you own land to own animals. (or kids)

The bathroom /shower facilities are clean from my experience, but I'm sure that can vary from place to place. The bitch is walking to and from the bathroom facilities in the middle of winter. Especially in Seattle. Typically no laundry is on site.

Dont rent or buy a boat to live on, unless you want to find out how seasick you get after a couple nights. This is also another reason you should not have pets on a boat.

Tl;dr your escapism fantasy won't play out how you want. Life's harder than new ideas and wishful thinking. Anything worth having on this planet is going to require more hard work than most are willing to put out.

I spent 2 nights on a friend's small yacht in Norway without issue. I've visited the country twice (for about two weeks each) and went out every day or every other day on a boat. I've never gotten seasick. I already know about the long walks to the bathrooms/showers/maybe laundry in cold and rainy weather being miserable and it's one of the least of my worries.

I don't think it can be an escapism fantasy when I know it's going to be hard living and I'm requesting information to better ascertain if this is something I really want to do. I'm considering it because I like to experience new things and grow from that, which requires a challenge. Rent looks cheap, too.

I concede the dog's gonna be fuckhard to manage, though. Still don't know about that. He does well on my aunt's lake, so he's at least familiar with water and boats to an extent. I live in a landlocked state, so taking him out on the ocean would be a hassle. It'd be better to rent a boat for a few nights off Airbnb in Seattle when I get there and see how he does.

You either post tits or stfu since no one asked about your gender and it's irrelevant for what you're asking.

How is it irrelevant ? No one would bother answering the questions if it was a male asking.

Rape, anon. That's something I need to worry about more than men.

I more than willing to bet that you're not a female, either way if you want to experience /out/ life more power to you and welcome, regardless. If you're a larping fag then seriously end yourself.

>>1080163
Why do you want to come to a nice place and play the rape card?
People like you are why men dont want to date anymore.

God willing you will end up as crabbait

Any hip city, like San Francisco, Seattle, New York, the Marina's can have a wait list years long to get into. Most Marina's require insurance on your boat too. Look into anchoring out. It's free, no duchebags blasting (not your favorite) music next to you. Your dog is more a matter of it's personality than size. Ive known dogs that loved the boat life, keeping the pirates (seagulls) off the deck, and I've known others who were impressively sick in the slightest chop.

Really, really check the boat and owner out. A friend of mine ended up renting a little live-aboard in Shilshole Marina in Seattle. The guy was nice but kind of a flake. He only lived on the boat in the summer and decided to rent it out for the winter for the first time. A few weeks after she moved in, the rain started and cabin was leaking everywhere. He hadn't noticed a lot of the caulking had gone bad around the roof and windows because in previous winters he had just thrown a tarp over it.

You're idea sounds cool. Do it! I live in a fifth wheel, which isn't as cool but people say it's similar. I had friends try talking me out of the fifth wheel idea and I'm glad that it didn't stop me.

I recommend Ballard's Shilshole marina but Washington is a dangerous place for women since most of you are sketchy whores. Hopefully you get stabbed by to death and buried in a deep dark forest, enjoy your stay in Washington State.

I've spent weeks on houseboats and never had a problem. The issue arises when you start sleeping on land again. You feel like you're still bobbing, but I've never been nauseated by it.
