I want a boat.


What's more I want to LIVE on a boat.

The recurring dream.

This is an example of what some call a 'shantyboat'.

It's basically a tiny house (shanty) on a barge or raft.
Back during the depression and such times a lot of people used to live on them on the rivers.
Some still do but the 'man' does not approve.

This is one who do.


He sails the Jefferson Archipelago (Alaska) the 'man' isn't as thick up there.

There's still a little bit of freedom in Alaska.

This is an old design but people still build them. It's a small houseboat.

This is called Escargot.


Cause it's slow. It might be the tinies houseboat built.

This guy has the right idea.


He's retired and building him a boat.

Of course the 'man' is giving him problems.

The 'man' always does.
