boat

A little tour of the happy adventure

If I buy a small sail boat, can I anchor anywhere in the ocean near shore and stay as long as I please, or to be more specific, Biscayne Bay, Miami, FL?

There's a shitload of boats washed up everywhere in Florida after the hurricane. Even when there isn't a hurricane there's abandoned boats all over. If you could paddle to them on a raft or kayak or something they would be a great place to squat. I'm living on a boat right now and there's a...

A great video about the project by Kirsten Dirksen “I do not know much about gods; but I think that the river Is a strong brown god—sullen, untamed and intractable” – “Dry Salvages”, T.S. Eliot Long before Wes Modes began planning a journey down the Mississippi, he started building a...

Fairly recently I was in "Tres fronteras" south America where Brazil, Colombia and Peru come together on the Amazon river. I was a pretty interesting place. I stayed at the hotel Brazil ^^^^ met some good folks and ate some decent grub. Alfonso my "fixer" was a pretty good cat, we drank a few...

Here is a short video of a trip I made from Latecia, Colombia/ Tabatinga in Brazil to Iquitos in Peru via the Amazon on a speed boat. it was a nightmarish 12 hours of loud noise,heat, humidity, and crowded conditions. But worth it. The alternative is a crowded river boat that takes 5 days...

Wanted to know if anyone has stopped out that way? I know slab city is close to that location but was thinking about checking out the boat ramp.

So I ended up in NYC and I'm crashing with some friends in Washington Heights. I remember reading awhile back about a community of boat punks over here in the city. Anybody able to give me info on their whereabouts? Looking for good people to hangout with on my free days, maybe contribute to the...

I thought this video was worth sharing because it goes into quite a bit of detail about what it's like to live on one of these boats and some of the logistics involved with the lifestyle. Definitely worth watching to see what it's like to live on a boat in a canal (and outside the usa).

I thought this video on putting together a yurt was pretty cool, so I thought I'd share it here. They also have a lot of other good videos about van dwelling, tiny houses, boat living, etc.

So I decided this morning I was gonna build a small boat from scraps harvested from the local community college. I'll post pictures as the build gets along. I've thought about maybe trying to make a small motor for it but I need to focus on actually building it first. Tomorrow I'm going to be...

This is just my advice on how to heat your space and some ideas. Personally living on sailboats for the last 3 years in the pacific northwest I have had to experiment with a few heating systems so here we go. Anything Marine heating will also adapt to your Van, Camper, Rv, Or tiny house...

I have spent the majority of my life riding trains, hitching and rubber tramping cross country, Now I finally aquired a boat. I will be launching my 40ft cutter this spring, hoping to find other dirty crusty travellers and perhaps form a flotilla of sorts. If you live on the fringe of soceity...

So I lived in Sausalitio on and off for a couple of years at anchor on a sailboat and got to go sailing numerous times, as well as use my boss's 13 ft. sailing dinghy to practice. A German photographer approached me on the dock one day and asked to follow me around while I went about my...
