I own a boat now and would love to bring it down, but the slip fees seem to cost as much as an apartment (~$450/mo)! I was considering bring it down
and living on board, but I think I'd probably go nuts in a short time - it's 28ft which is not a huge space to live in - ok for weekends and stuff,
but not as a permanent living situation. I was thinking I might buy a panga or something when I get there. |
Aha... so not everything has been lost in the crisis. I wouldn't do this anyway. Been to some permanent boat people in marina Sta Rosalia, no offense
but this is not for everybody. Not only there isn't much space on the boat, but there isn't much privacy around the boat either. You have more private
space on a public beach on an average week day, than on live-aboard boat.

Soulpatch,
730KWH per month would translate to about $700 pesos per month which at todays exchange rate of about 12.7 is about $55 USD per month.

slip fees at puerto salina are $8.50 ft. with a $75 live aboard fee including water and electric. Its a really nice facility, I was a liveaboard in
channel islands marina for 10 years and loved it.

Fernweh, I'm perhaps biased towards shore living, even though spend a bit of time on water. This is a nice cove, but you are tied to this anchorage in
all ways. You take a daily trip ashore in a dinghy to stretch your legs and you can't walk away. Limited electricity supply from generator and/or
small solar panels, small fridge - heck, everything is so small on a boat... Life in marina gives more comfort but less privacy, with fellow boaters
few feet away, and all kinds of noise day and night - docks creaking, sail hardware clinking, motors running. This isn't for everybody.

Housing/rent? Depends upon where you want to be located. Food? Depends upon what you eat. Drink? Depends upon what you drink. Smoke? Depends upon what
you smoke. In other words, it all depends upon you.

This is so true......and I'm so very much appreciative that this cove with its tiny boats and only a few fellow boaters even exists.
Marina Del Rey is just minutes away from me, with its crowded everything "big", from the egos to the french door fridges. I'm glad so many other
boaters like all kinds of noise day and night - docks creaking, sail hardware clinking, motors running. This isn't for everybody

IF you want to live on your boat...you can probably get a slip at Marina de La Paz for 450/month. write them and see. there are a number of live
aboards living in 28' boats there, I can't imagine doing so, but it is a great location and the cruising community is great.
reality\'s never been of much use out here...
