A floating homestead

Only an eccentric person or a person that is a couple of cards short of a full deck would want to live in that small floating structure. I would not want to be there when the typhoon season rolls around. I had the displeasure of riding out a typhoon on a destroyer while in the Navy. Waves were 20-30 feet tall. The ship would climb a swell, roll 30 degrees or so to one side and then dive THROUGH the next swell with green water smashing over the bridge. The power of the water was so strong that it actually began to tear the forward 5 inch twin mount loose from the deck requiring a period of time in a Japanese shipyard for repairs..

I certainly would not want to be in that structure in the photo when such a storm blew through.

Itreally does not seem like a well thought out plan.

It sure doesn't. It also doesn't look like a very comfortable place to live. I don't see an outside area or porch and the windows look pretty small. I also don't see any boat tied up to it. If he has a fight with the girlfriend they are stuck there together to either work it out or for one of them to kill he other and throw the body to the sharks, lol.

For some reason it brings to mind the second book of the Bounty Trilogy, Men Against the Sea. After the mutiny, Bligh and 25 others were put to sea in mid-Pacific in a open launch. They traveled 3500 miles to port and most eventually returned to England. I have no desire to live in the open ocean.

I'd like one of those small houses that are being made all over the place. Syracuse has a organization that makes them for I think homeless veterans. I am sure I could get a loan for the few ten's of thousands one would cost. I saw one somewhere for about $25,000.
