Us small boat people have to find ways to fix it ourselves. <br /><br />There's also a certain outlaw element to what we do. For example, the way to anchor in this area is to drop the hook in the middle of the canal and then tie a line onto the mangroves. Apparently you aren't supposed to tie to the mangroves, but everyone does it. Here the local sheriff "doesn't see it." <br /><br />Some places want to keep us boaters away from their fancy waterfront property but you have to anchor somewhere. It's a struggle. Other people like our business. Often these people are in the same place. <br /><br />Those of us who are more than weekend warriors tend to seek out each other and help each other. <br /><br />Of course, the stories are also pretty cool. People make their way to the lifestyle for many different reasons.<br /><br />Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-81040084925152174252016-01-06T22:56:45.527-05:002016-01-06T22:56:45.527-05:00My only experience of real sailing is day trips fr...My only experience of real sailing is day trips from the Camp Lejeune marina. Even then, with that minimal exposure, I noticed that people who live on small boats are a very eclectic group. They always seemed to me like characters out of a Steinbeck novel, like "Cannery Row." One of the things I really envy about your life style (and there are a lot of things) is that you get to meet people like the drunken sailing lady. Everybody here is pretty much the same. The old guys with character have all died off or gone to the nursing home. It wasn't always that way....Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.com
