Comment Comment by Lio Whenever I hear about people giving it all up to live on a boat I remember Suzanne Heywood's account[1] of growing up like that.It doesn't look like it was a very pleasant life for her or her brother. She describes it stealing her childhood. That's one reason not to do it.It's something that looks glamorous from the outside but a bit grim when you really consider what's involved.Worse things happen at sea, as they say.(I still love their website and ideas, I just know I wouldn't want to inflict that lifestyle on my family).1. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/mar/25/suzanne... parent Lio 24 days ago
