everywhere I go in the world there are giant marinas with a million boats

I've told you a MILLION times to NOT EXAGGERATE!

And how do you get to go everywhere in the world, that marinas stand front and center of your attention? Could it be that you go... on your boat?

Have a friend who would go north in the summer to work on forest fires and would come back to his sailboat at the end of the season to spend winter at the marina, he doesn't even know how to sail...

I suspect technically insurance companies own most of the boats, they just don't know it yet

They aren’t as expensive as you think especially the shitty sailboats

This is a different kind of boat, but I met someone recently who lives in a houseboat like this and apparently it works out cheaper than buying a house near where they work. It's moored on the Thames, some way upriver from London.

The funniest part was how relatively normal this person was. They work as a lawyer.

Narrowboats are expensive tho.

They're the vw campers of the waterway.

Expensive and usually very old and very rotten.

plus you can only really do inland waterways with them. i much prefer sailboats

I've had this awesome teacher. He was a boating and train nerd and looked the part.

I always assumed a good portion of them were rentals.
