I don't think it's sad, or a waste, or unrewarding. You've got to live somewhere, and everyone needs a hobby. I'd much rather live on a derelict ship like this

I don't think it's sad, or a waste, or unrewarding. You've got to live somewhere, and everyone needs a hobby. I'd much rather live on a derelict ship like this for the rest of my life than in some soulless subdivision surrounded by cookie cutter houses, or in a big city. Even if the thing sinks in the end, it's a life lived well.

- londons_explore 5y agoIt's more that most of these people tricked themselves into that path... If you asked them 30 years ago "do you want to spend the next 30 years of weekends sanding and painting a rotting wooden boat", I think most would say no. They only keep doing it because they've already invested so much effort they don't want to give up.
