Loose Moorings; Liveaboard Life in Victoria Harbour
http://loosemoorings.org
n the summer of 2007 we kicked out the kids, sold the house, bought the boat - a cs36t - and moved from the dull confines of the fraser valley to Victoria's inner harbour. i like to think of myself as a full-time writer although living aboard seems like a full time occupation in itself. tracy works with the elderly as a social worker in one of the city's many retirement homes. this is our first major life experiment since having our two kids all those years ago.

Moving Off the Boat
One of the great benefits of being a loser is that the scenery never gets old. While many if not most folks struggle to maintain property and a house, with all it's enormous costs, we get to live lightly, moving as the need requires. We had an ad out...
Regularly Scheduled Boat Breakdowns
Funny how things go; the other day I was just thinking that i was overdue for something to break down; we never go for a long stretch without something starting to smoke or otherwise self-immolate. Sure enough, we got a double whammy the next day: Tr...
The Problem With Blogging
After a bit of research I've discovered that I've committed a blogger's cardinal sin: a lack of focus. I've talked about this before and i've struggled with what to do about it. My original attempt in writing this blog was, as the name suggests, talk...
