Domesticated Fishing Boat (_DSC1123)

At a glance, I am amazed how much different their life must be aboard the fishing boat. The boat is like a little cocoon, sheltering them from both the weather and the stress of city life that ordinary people live in.

A boat requires a different type of upkeep than a house. I've never heard of a house sinking from neglect, but a boat needs frequent checking for wear and tear. Inevitably, things deteriorate faster in the salty environment, and with each new repair to tackle. Thus making one come out a little more accomplished from the experience. One has to learn how to repair hoses, change engine oil, install new pumps, rewire electrical systems and a host of other skills.
