It seems that living aboard a houseboat in some places is difficult
because there aren't enough slips available. My question is, what
if I don't care if I'm near shore. Can I just drop anchor
someplace and then kayak to and from my boat?



I can't imagine that this is allowed, but how do I find out what the
regulations are? Can I drop anchor in the middle of San Francisco
bay and just live out there for years at a time? How about the
Charles River in Boston?



Of course utilities like electricity, water, and sewage will be more
difficult if I'm not connected to shore...but those problems can be
overcome.



I'm sure you can tell from my questions that I don't have any clue what
I'm talking about....but I'm hoping some of you can enlighten me.



Thanks.
