Extreme Houseboats

An interesting collection of pictures and links to various houseboats. These are NOT your average houseboat. They range from the extreme, futuristic designs that seem more science fiction than fact down to the various shanty styles that you might see on the local lake or backwater. Check out the pictures and who knows, you might just get an idea :-)

I'm sure you have seen that I build an Origami Dinghy using plans from WoodenWidget - Robin Benjamin, aka Benjy. I have enjoyed correspondence with him several times and he's a nice guy and the dinghy is a slick design that I enjoyed building.

What I didn't know is that he lives on a boat, and has for 20 something years... neat!

If you read PassageMaker Magazine, you may have seen the latest issue with Felicia Schneiderhan's article titled "Surviving the Liveaboard Winter". Her and her new husband Mark live on their boat in Chicago, with the challenges that climate can entail in the winter months. It was a good article, and the author information led me to her blog.

I've enjoyed reading through many of her posts, and some of the pictures are excellent.

Retirement Living TV is an interesting site with various videos concerning, what else, retirement living. They have advice segments and various special interest clips. This one covered a man living on a 49' boat, and then had an interview with a Yacht broker concerning some of the facts of life of buying and living on a boat.

A common problem for liveaboard and cruising boaters is how to get around town when you have reached a layover destination. Sometimes you are just wanting to anchor out and not be bothered by the world, but often you want to tour a town, see the sites, or just pick up a quick bite that you didn't cook yourself. read more »

Michael Porter

Michael Porter has a handful of designs on his web page, but the one that really catches my attention is the "Live Anywhere" Boat. He has created a craft designed around world cruising, including about 95% of the European canals, but instead of the standard "luxury" yacht features with tons of accomodations, etc., making it a floating home and workplace for a couple. Work from the boat and move around as you wish. With modern telecommunications and the opportunity to work "anywhere" via the net, this becomes more and more practical. read more »

John and Irene have a beautiful web site with lots of information chronicling their move aboard their canal boat and their travels. They also include a good page of links that have many other sites of interest.

Here's a topic that has suddenly become more near and dear to my heart... or at least my kidney.

I'm fighting a kidney stone... first time I've had one, and it is NOT pleasant. Still have some procedures to undergo to try to rid myself of it. read more »
