Sometimes you run across the most amazing things on a lake in the middle of nowhere. Whenever aviation and canoes come together, David is a happy man.

Vimeo Video about Simply Living Aboard
Simple. Living. Aboard a Boat from Schooner People on Vimeo.
Being close to nature, living a simple life, enjoying a close-knit community, having the opportunity to travel worldwide with your boat–these are among the reasons to enjoy living aboard a boat. Having an “anywhere” location-independent lifestyle, we really enjoy living aboard.
Recently, we have heard a disturbing number of untrue, negative statements–stereotypes–of liveaboards. What is most disturbing is that we’re observing bias in the attitudes of local public policy makers and enforcement agencies. Americans who are choosing to live a simple life aboard are marginalized by the towns and cities they take harbor in.
We decided to put together a little video with a few of our fellow “live aboard” boaters who identify themselves as: cruisers, voyagers, liveaboards and simple living advocates. We think you’ll agree with us–we are ordinary people, just like you, and if you care about the earth, the environment, and having a real community, then, living aboard–and voyaging aboard–a boat is a wonderful thing to do!

Canoes, International Affairs, & the Warm Heart I’ll Always Remember
Today, David’s father, Bob, passed away. We sit here in silence thinking of him–his laughter, his love, discussions of international affairs, and the countless days of wilderness canoe trips we had the pleasure of spending with him. We’ll write more, a better tribute to everything about Dad. But today a couple pictures. A young Bob on a canoe trip with his father observing the logging at Curtain Falls (Ontario, Canada in the wilderness that is now the Quetico Provincial Park) in 1943. A much more mature Bob, in 2001, on his last long wilderness trip–paddling with a young friend, Nina, and supervising David in the camp-kitchen cooking breakfast.
