[Gatto Nero]

I always thought if you had a cruiser you could have the best of both worlds if you bought a piece of undeveloped land on an island and a small slip on the mainland. The slip would provide the amenities (shower etc) you need and allow for transportation to and from the island. The island property would be your home away home with the cruiser at the dock. You could live in the comfort of the boat but still have privacy and a place to stretch out. You could also build a shed to store more "stuff" and perhaps build a whole house when you have the time and resources.

I don't know this for a fact, but I think that someone is doing it on either Mink Island or Mark Island.
