Hi ya'll. I am so excited to be able to ask questions and get lots of options. I know little to nothing about our boat, but want to learn. I hope I will be able to get lots of advise and suggestions from the Lady's and Gentlemen on here. I have inside and outside design issues with this boat. It is an amazing boat but just want to make her our boat. And have been reading on here off and on now for a couple of months. So please get ready to have a barge of assorted questions. And please be patient with me. lol...
When my wife bought the Eagle we were newbie’s want bees and we had a ton of questions. I was not a very happy camper at the time! The things we wish we know before
buying and becoming a live aboard was:
What to do with our worldly junk/stuff, especially the sentimental and remembrances? We gave what we could to
family friends and charity, there was still at last two dozen trips to the dump. Its amazing what we collect over time. Do I really need 3 of these?
How little 30 amps 120 volts AC is. We had to set the break dozens of times each day. When we lived in the house we never threw a breaker? Whats 30 amps and where can I buy more amps?
How little two hundred gallons of
water is and 12 gallons a hot water. I just fill the tank yesterday? It seems the water and/or the hot water usually ran out in the middle of a
shower. Ahhhh!
How little room there was for shoes, cloths, shoes, person items and did I mention shoes? Had to par down to two small closets. We where forced to wear the same thing more than once. How embarrassing! We have to buy another boat just for our stuff!
What you can not put down a
marine toilet? How come the toilet is plugged again. I only used two hand full of Charmin toilet pape? We are limited to only things that have been eaten, so the toilet can not be used as a garbage disposal?
How small the
holding tank is. What is the smell and brown stuff running down the
hull? What do you mean the
holding tank has to be pump out? So who does that? We do? You must be joking?
The
refrigerator is to small as there is no room for our drinks, and NO ice? Ok so we don’t have to eat! Remember, in college we lived on
beer, pop corn and chips, We can do that again!
I don’t feel to well! How can both of us catch the flu at the same time, and how do we make the bloody boat stop rocking/moving. Gawds, I hope the toilet is not plugged again!
The boat makes these weird sounds. The toilet sounds like a garbage disposal, motors come on/off, we can heard water, the fenders and lines make creaky sounds. How does a person sleep with all this
noise? What do you mean its relaxing?
So where did every body go, its only 6 o clock. What do you mean there are only two of us living in the marina and its an older couple three docks down. Well who are we going to party with?
Our address is West Marina,
Dock 2, slip 3, Fairview.
Seattle WA. What do you mean that is not a good address and our drivers
license can not be renewed or have
food delivered. Will you accpet our
GPS locations?
You have to develope a sense of humor and take things in stride.
