Life on a Boat - Trading "Stuff" for Freedom

A few familiar themes in this article about liveaboards. I feel like the queen of the soundbite! Though I joked with our neighbor Ed (also quoted in the article) that the author truncated both the size of Ed's boat - misquoted as 28 feet instead of 38 - and truncated a few of my statements, getting the general point but not the tone. The interview process was interesting in its breadth. I think the writer is used to having the space for longer articles and exploring more complexities of an issue. I get the feel on first read of a ramble without clear focus. But the exciting thing is, I got quoted ... several times.
