Reply To: Living Aboard a Boat

Oomis, Crazybrit, are you addressing me? I assure you this is true, I do indeed live aboard a boat. I don’t know why that’s so hard to understand. Are frum Jews not allowed to live on boats? I don’t get many chances to speak to other religious Jews that I haven’t already schmoozed to death (except in our annual boat trip around the great American loop). I though I could find a like-minded soul here. Forgive me for assuming so, and I’ll bother you no more. If you weren’t addressing me, then again forgive my assumptions.

Zahavasdad, I’m afraid I’ve never been up the Hutchinson, although I have passed by it I believe. In our loop we come from the Gulf, up the Mississippi (or the Tombigbee to the Mississippi), through the Chicago ship channel to Lake Michigan, to Lake Huron, through the Welland Canal to Lake Erie, to the Erie Canal to the Hudson River, down the Hudson to New York where we pick up the Inter-Coastal-Waterway (ICW), all the way down the east coast to Florida, around Florida and back to the Gulf. Sometimes we make the trip the other way, and other times we take the Ohio River, or head up the Missouri as far as it goes. We do this at least every other year, and sometimes once a year. It’s sort of a working vacation for my wife. She’s a luthier, and she takes orders for instruments as we go along.
