I've come across references online and in stories I've been told about a community of people who live on sailboats in the Sargasso Sea. Using techniques like those mentioned in Sailing the Farm...

Hey all, A friend of mine mentioned something that led me here. I'm not going to link to anything related to my real-world life because I would prooobably get in shit and this place is publicly searchable. Hopped freight a couple times, used to hitch-hike/travel. Ended up trapped in a shit...

Having extensively cruised the uk, inland and coastal, I have been thinking a bit lately and looking into leaving for warmer climates.. boats so nearly ready. Haven't currently got a passport, my dog hasn't either, boats also not registered (not a requirement in the uk but is in some countries)...

I have little boating experience but I have been interested in it for years. I currently live in Minneapolis in Summer and Lafayette LA area in the winter. It would be cool to live on a motorized shanty that I could take between the two. I am curious about how that would work living on the...

I finally ended up grabbing a boat in Olympia. I learned in the process i know very little about sailing and less about what makes a boat good or bad. I looked at probably 20 boats from 22' -32'. I looked at Catalina's, rangers, columbias, San Juans, tanzers, and more. I almost got a free albin...

I just bought another boat, and im inspired to make a hardcopy boat punx zine! Im looking for people to contribute articles, stories, and writeups for the free print publication, and ill probably post a pdf here. If you would like to be featured in it let me know!

Hey, I'm Grace and I'm pretty young but I'm excited to explore the world one day. I'm younger but I just feel like ditching college and just living on a boat and traveling across the world for the rest of my life. It's another pipe dream, but wouldn't that be amazing? Traveling to Tokyo, Cape...

Found in Jacksonville FL. I believe this is not too far from Green Cove Springs Marina, an affordable do it yourself boat yard.

I just got my edel 665 (22ft sail) down to key largo- come mid January I will have to leave it for several months. I was hoping there was someone who wanted to use the boat for a while-fishing, sailing, chilling etc and then when I was able to get back to it I could get going again. End goal is...

A little tour of the happy adventure

If I buy a small sail boat, can I anchor anywhere in the ocean near shore and stay as long as I please, or to be more specific, Biscayne Bay, Miami, FL?

Megan and Rob are a pair of adventure seekers who are working hard to create the life of their dreams: living on a sailboat and exploring Alaska, working online and starting their own filmmaking company. All while continuing to actively explore their surroundings on bikes, in kayaks, in...

There's a shitload of boats washed up everywhere in Florida after the hurricane. Even when there isn't a hurricane there's abandoned boats all over. If you could paddle to them on a raft or kayak or something they would be a great place to squat. I'm living on a boat right now and there's a...

Fairly recently I was in "Tres fronteras" south America where Brazil, Colombia and Peru come together on the Amazon river. I was a pretty interesting place. I stayed at the hotel Brazil ^^^^ met some good folks and ate some decent grub. Alfonso my "fixer" was a pretty good cat, we drank a few...

Here is a short video of a trip I made from Latecia, Colombia/ Tabatinga in Brazil to Iquitos in Peru via the Amazon on a speed boat. it was a nightmarish 12 hours of loud noise,heat, humidity, and crowded conditions. But worth it. The alternative is a crowded river boat that takes 5 days...

Wanted to know if anyone has stopped out that way? I know slab city is close to that location but was thinking about checking out the boat ramp.

So I ended up in NYC and I'm crashing with some friends in Washington Heights. I remember reading awhile back about a community of boat punks over here in the city. Anybody able to give me info on their whereabouts? Looking for good people to hangout with on my free days, maybe contribute to the...

I thought this video was worth sharing because it goes into quite a bit of detail about what it's like to live on one of these boats and some of the logistics involved with the lifestyle. Definitely worth watching to see what it's like to live on a boat in a canal (and outside the usa).

I thought this video on putting together a yurt was pretty cool, so I thought I'd share it here. They also have a lot of other good videos about van dwelling, tiny houses, boat living, etc.

So I decided this morning I was gonna build a small boat from scraps harvested from the local community college. I'll post pictures as the build gets along. I've thought about maybe trying to make a small motor for it but I need to focus on actually building it first. Tomorrow I'm going to be...

This is just my advice on how to heat your space and some ideas. Personally living on sailboats for the last 3 years in the pacific northwest I have had to experiment with a few heating systems so here we go. Anything Marine heating will also adapt to your Van, Camper, Rv, Or tiny house...

I have spent the majority of my life riding trains, hitching and rubber tramping cross country, Now I finally aquired a boat. I will be launching my 40ft cutter this spring, hoping to find other dirty crusty travellers and perhaps form a flotilla of sorts. If you live on the fringe of soceity...

So I lived in Sausalitio on and off for a couple of years at anchor on a sailboat and got to go sailing numerous times, as well as use my boss's 13 ft. sailing dinghy to practice. A German photographer approached me on the dock one day and asked to follow me around while I went about my...

Hey Mates! So, after much soul searching, life reassembling, suicidal thoughts, and internal monolouge, I have come to the conclusion that it is time to give up land travel and take to the seas! I am learning as much as possible, and gathering dollaz with much haste so as to be able to buy a...

Hey guys, My partner and I have decided we aren't done traveling so we are putting the homestead on hold to sail around for a year or so. We are seriously looking for boats, and are curious about size. We want something easy enough to sail single handed, yet big enough to comfortably house 2...

I'm interested in hitching a ride across the Atlantic on a boat. I've read extensively on the feasibility of the subject when it comes to crossing from Europe to the Caribbean, but nobody seems to talk about the opposite. Does anybody have any kind of experience with sailing across the Atlantic...

See if I can get this to work..my free boat..was owned by a IWW merchant marine who my buddy shared a handle with one nite and somehow the guy ended up falling in the water,hitting his head,possible heart attack in winter cold water, found dead the next day.

desperatly need a boat to live aboard, ime in the uk but want to live anywhere the wind takes me,

With everybody gone to my aunt's or work, I picked up a can of yellow Rustoleum and decided to spray some messages on the underside of an abandoned (I think) river boat up in one of the new developments near where I live. I know you shouldn't do this during the day, but the boat was in a...

Came across this earlier this month, and it looks like the 'floating the mississippi barge' adventure we've all been looking for. there's plenty of posts on how it all came about including floor plans and other useful information for those of use interested in doing something similar...

My best friend and I decided last summer to buy a sailboat together. We had been sailing in a local small rig regatta since we were about 8 years old so now being young adults with some sort of personal income it seemed like the next step. The boat is an albin vega 27 with a great hull. The...

Not exactly the most detailed picture. But gotta make this happen hah. It isn't like there is a shortage of 2 liters or empty bottles.

In early April of 2013, a group of us got together to sail the SV Rocksteady to Fort Jefferson. This old civil war fort turned national park is located on the Dry Tortugas, a series of islands located 70 miles west of Key West, Florida. Adam, Lauren, and Robert came out from Los Angeles to pay...

The following is an article from the German Magazine NEON. I translated it with the help of Google translate, so it’s a bit rough around the edges, but I think it still conveys the story pretty well. It features many of the friends I was living with in Key West, some of which you may recognize...
