Kenny James, you’re singin the broke man’s song! Livin on a boat can be a dream, or a nightmare. As a lady, I get rogues tryin to bust in and have their way with me. Was fun for a while, but it gets old.

It’s the only way to live, matey. Best part is you can do yer robbin at night an then cast off to the wind.

The shore is for the fettered slave of old,
Who counts his virtues by a single spark;
I seek the tides where silver meets the gold,
And chase the moon through shadows of the dark.

A fevered vow that dies before the day;
I’ll love a thousand ghosts throughout the night,
Then let the morning wash their names away.

If you can swing it, you should try.
