live on a boat

Today, I am officially licensed by the State of New Jersey and the United States Coast Guard to operate a watercraft. Yay!

I will get my boat license! Just went fishing in Florida. If I ever do live on a boat, I will keep it down here. It seems more like something you do when you’re retired unless you become very wealthy at an early age. So I should probably start buying lottery tickets.

...it could happen. My old man bought a boat and keeps it at a marina in Forked River, NJ. I had the chance to see it when I went down to visit on Father’s Day. I also had the chance to drive it. I’m taking good notes on how to maintain it and whatnot in hopes that one day, I may either inherit it or buy one of my own. I plan on taking a course to get my boating license sometime real soon.

I’ve slept on boats before. I love the water. I’m a big fan of Ernest Hemingway and Jimmy Buffet. The whole carribean experience in general. Just to dock somewhere and eat cheeseburgers. Fish all day, sell it on the docks, then blow all your money in San Juan on whores and rum. YO HO! A Pirate’s life for me!
