Marina del Rey, Los Angeles, California

Freeloading on Dale Vasquez's boat on Marina del Rey is not the hardest living I've encountered.  In fact, it could easily become addictive.  Sleeping on the boat is sooooo relaxing, and awaking to an ocean view is a great start to any day. I don't see myself becoming Californificated, so (as always) I'll be planning the next big adventure in the meantime.  A few sailing lessons could be in the near future, because Captain Marv wants to continue living on his boat in Saint Petersburg.  So if anyone knows how to handle one of these things and has a few months and their life to spare, then drop me a line and we'll try to tackle a Pacific to Atlantic voyage (I won't be waiting by the phone!)
