Having grown up in Ft Lauderdale with its 170 miles of canals and many, many more boats and yachts, a native naturally feels living on a boat would be a "no brainer." But for this native, it was a bit of a challenge. However, Jason was always at the ready with quick solutions to minor problems I couldn't figure out. The boat has two bed spaces one of which was quite large. Sailboat Bend is an unpublicized but beautiful and historic part of Ft Lauderdale. If you prefer stability and ease of boarding, Jason has quite a bigger houseboat one dock over.
