Looking: trailerable live aboard
Vessel Name
TBD wanted
Hi friends. Thanks for looking

We have decided and in process of selling our house and most belongings and committed to living aboard a tug.

We are looking for friendly good people to be with. Looking for ideas or areas to start considering a new home. A humble fun and wholesome life. Oh yeah and a good used tug. We are preparing to “make the move” and really not looking for lots of perks and glamour. We can appreciate high end docks with every amenity and popular attractions. We are just as happy or more content on a rickety old dock or just dropping anchor in a chill little cove with some cool friends.

We love the thought of community and a rewarding lifestyle. Any ideas or encouragement is heartfelt and appreciated.

About us:
50 yr old couple
Kind normal good people. Fairly healthy. Honest positive lifestyles
New but experienced to boating. Part time remote working. Kids mostly raised. One at home.
Couple little dogs
Experience in Boat maintenance, diesel motor repair & maintenance.
Trailering docking beaching navigation safety
Hobbies: fishing, SCUBA, snorkeling, spear fishing, reading, art, cooking, beachcombing, music instruments.

We will be looking for a location and a boat. Starting to do more homework.

Born & Raised in Puget Sound and currently trying to escape the suburbs of beautiful (but landlocked) Colorado,

Thank you very much for taking the time
Your new friends
 
We lived aboard for several years many years ago. The boat is the simplest part of the equation. I suggest you figure out a spot for moorage first. Slip space of any kind is a challenge and a place that allows liveaboards is 10x more difficult. I hope it all works out for you. It can be a great way of life.
