PURCHASING A HISTORIC HOUSEBOAT ON THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY?!

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Hoping today’s video brings a smile to your ❤️ We love you, Mr and Mrs A

[@elgringoec]

I know it will. On the schedule for later. But the short answer to your thumbnail question is a resounding no. Catch yas later!

[@fishernate]

What a fascinating video. One of your best I think. It looks like an amazing community. Thank you for posting this.

[@lanceandshelleypeters-en465]

Thanks Brittany and Drew. Please look after yourselves and each other. Keep being and allowing yourselves to truly be you. Keep connections. Reach out if you are ever struggling.

[@mariecruz5509]

Thank you guys. I leave in SF and visit Sausalito often. This houseboats never seized to fascinate me. Thank you for bringing me in with you😍 Full of information that I would not have found on my own! I’ll call waiting for your next vlog🙏❤️🙏

[@VeganTravel1]

How did y'all get involved with house sitting? I'm looking to house sit out on the west coast.

[@ShannonLeeAcoustic2112]

Oh my goodness!! This was such a great video, you two! I loved everything about it, and meeting Dave was wonderful! He was chock full of info and such a natural in front of the camera- I was completely engrossed in all he had to share, and same with Maria! I can totally see you and Drew living there! What a cool community!

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Weren't they both such wonderful story tellers!! We especially loved how he said he wanted to "steer a tall ship by the stars!" Such imagery ✨

[@ReclinerBabe]

Hey guys....the elder adventurers here. We ran into some health problems...so haven't been faithful commentors for a bit. We had to leave our home of 25 years...you know....the one overlooking the ferry in Anacortes. We are renters now...see, another new adventure before our final one. We always share your more active adventures and gratefully so. Just want to say...if you decide to rent a houseboat....there are others....not so $$$ as Sausalito...We always wanted to try one in Seattle but missed the opportunity. Many are on lakes, some on rivers, yet still close to cities and/or nature. What fun to start researching again. (Recliner Babe and her Handsome Prince.)

I moved to San Francisco in the Summer of Love and wound up staying 38 years. Thanks for reminding me about Juanita's. Ate there many times, she was a former Madam who fed the hippie/rock culture. I am retired now and live in Ecuador. You would love it here. So beautiful, housing is cheap, lots of areas with yoga culture. But I still miss the Bay Area. Crazy expensive.

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Wow! What a time that much have been 💛 And Ecuador sounds incredible... maybe we will see you there one day ✌️✨

Found it all so inspiring!! ✨

[@elgringoec]

We should ask Otis.

[@stephanieburns4560]

@@elgringoec He had just come in to the Bay Area and was staying on Liberty Dock. Lots of musical history in that area including the Plant where many famous recordings were made including Fleetwood Mac albums.

[@elgringoec]

@@stephanieburns4560 That's fascinating, I never paid attention to that. I remember auditioning HiFi equipment in the seventies when a seemingly knowledgeable salesman described their recordings (from a technical aspect) as having "that British sound". I never delved into the specifics but fell in love with the music and the soundscape. I have a dozen or more of their albums both on the original records and again later on CD. Looking on Wikipedia at the album "Rumours" specifically (truly iconic), look how many places are listed for the production of the album (none British by the way): Criteria, Miami Record Plant, Sausalito and Los Angeles Zellerbach Auditorium, Berkeley Wally Heider, San Francisco Davlen, North Hollywood 🤯 Cheers!

[@jentommyontheroad8089]

I’ve been by this area so many times and it’s so cool to see it up close and personal! Thank you for taking us along and showing us the progression over time. Love the interviews!

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

So glad you found the stories and people as fascinating and wonder-full as we did 😊💛

[@lorrainecalvert4635]

Welcome to my "neck of the woods!". Actually I live just north of Sausalito in Petaluma. My cousins own the Venice Deli on the main street, so if you're in the neighborhood, stop by. I've never actually been inside that community so it was so fun to watch the tour. There's another houseboat community further south in the Bay Area in Redwood City, it's called Pete's Harbour. It's probably less expensive, but no where near the community feel of Sausalito. If you guys can swing it, what a great place to land!

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Thanks for leaving this comment and letting us know 💕

[@lanceandshelleypeters-en465]

The community feel on the dock reminds me of when we lived on our little sailboat about 20 years ago on the west coast of Canada. It was smaller than spirit, but took us to beautiful, rugged, natural islands and back. Loved that time.

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

✨Sounds absolutely magical ✨

[@sherriereese3884]

Looks like a great place to live. Setting on the dock at night visiting we everyone sounds like that would be so much fun. Celebrating all the holidays by boat or by paddleboard-so much fun. If you went on a trip in your van you would have neighbors to look after your home.

A new video makes my day start bright and happy! Hello from Minnesota😊

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Sending you our love!! 😘

[@lorihutton4719]

I so enjoyed all this info.plus seeing inside some of the house boats. My all time favorite is a 2 story that aired on tiny house owned by a woman that met her bf while sitting on deck having wine. I love her home and her story. Most people here in TN.keep there large pontoon house boats in slips but stay in them all summer. Me I have a camper but I'd give it up for this option. Alot cheaper here to live on the water a year than that place. Alot cheaper to live anywhere you want in TN. No ocean but some good lakes.

[@lorenl9262]

I enjoyed watching your video and I grew up in Sausalito in which I believe is the "hidden gem" of the Bay Area. The gentleman that was interviewed is a very knowledgeable guy and has a "great attitude"!!!

[@marknowak6683]

I was there in the 60s with mom, and dad on vacation from the Midwest. Great history. Thanks!

[@Emy53]

I so love the floating homes. Another great video with fabulous content. Thank you.

[@MyNest20]

Great job capturing the spirit of this magical place. It is SO true that after a lifestyle of relative freedom like VANLIFE you cannot go back to city or suburban life. I am two years in as a solo female nomad and checking out options just as you are... Everything old is new again, and free thinkers are open to the possibilities.

[@yvonnebirch6026]

Great video ! We passed by there many times wondering what that would be like. Nice to get a closer look and hear the history ! 💕🌷

[@milcotto4153]

It would be hard to park a van next to one of those :-) Buying a cabin or a house to renovate and earn some money on, and buying another house to renovate and earn some money on until you get your dream house to live in, is one thing you can do. The best thing is if you can do this without having to take up a mortgage, times being as they are, and probably will be for a long time. Renovating a house also makes good content. An old friend of mine who has passed away now, once said a thing I remember. He said, the views living by the ocean can be great. But you have the moisture all the time, and it can be very windy. So it is better to live a certain distance away from the shore line but having the ocean view if you can afford it. I also had friends who built a house right by the sea, where they could jump right into the water and have a morning swim if they wanted to. But they sold it after a few years and bought a house away from the waterfront. In a warmer climate, these things might not be of the same concern. I don't know.. But from what you are showing us, it looks like you will be living very close to your neighbors in that place. And it will probably be quite noisy most of the time. I get the feeling that living like that might not be quite the thing you are looking for, but it is very smart of you to look under every rock in your quest to find the right place. Put down on a piece of paper all the things you would like to have in a property and add that it should have good neighbors and be affordable for you now. That is important. And then suddenly the right place will turn up for you. It might take a while, but you will find it. That is how the universe works, it seems. Good luck with everything. It is very exiting to follow you around on your journey to find your very own place where you can settle down.

[@leonoresalmantine]

This episode was so interesting ! I've been to San Francisco and had no idea about this houseboat community, it was so fun discovering it all :)

[@charlesferris2317]

So cool that you have found your way to the houseboats. Many, many moons ago, I made my way there. Heavily influenced at the time by Stewart Brand and the Whole Earth movement. No matter where you land, it's a wonderful region to live; welcome to NorCal, Mr. and Mrs. A!

[@1donfeerer]

Planning our family summer vacation where we circumvent America, mainly boondocking, but also utilizing NPS (Access Pass) campsites. From Cincinnati to Seattle, to California, to the Keys, and back home. Hitting Portland Maine this Spring Break, and lots of various sight seeing along the way.

[@kathifoynm]

Fascinating tour. Thanks for taking me there.

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jennymontague851]

I loved that place. Having been a member of the Hippie genre and hitching here and there, I was in California a lot, but never got to Sal Salido, although I did spend bit of time in San Francisco. California-loved the bay. In the late 60's and 70's Southern CA was the place to be. Met a lot of incredible and talented people there. I miss it. Thank you so much for this film. It's a part of the history I lived through.

[@tracym2164]

Love, love, love!! I, too, could see myself living on a houseboat. There are houseboat communities here in Canada, some on the West coast, some on the East Coast however I doubt they have such an illustrious history. I will have to find out. Thanks for sharing!

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Wow - I had no idea of the history of this. I had been there years ago and I loved it. Even after living on a boat for close to 30 years (after those few visits to Sausalito) I’d live on one of those in a heartbeat! What a fun one 😝

Amazing! I’d love to put my Stoney Sun artwork around there 😊 she would fit right in the hippie vibe... so would I 😃

A houseboat. Cool! We have discussed this idea in the past. Sea sickness would be a serious issue. 🤢

[@SarahsAtticOfTreasures]

@@Mrandmrsadventure Plus, It's too small of an area. If you are at sea or on a lake, you can't really go for a walk. Sleep well.

[@annski6118]

Those were fascinating stories! So many options, hope you’re getting closer.

[@sonicsurfpilot]

Great Video. We know a couple that me met RV'ing and they just sold their beautiful houseboat that was on main dock. We got a nice tour of the houseboat community while they still lived there. I could enjoy living there and taking advantage of all the nice things in the bay area. Will be following you to see what your next living arrangement is. We full time rv'ed for 6 years and ended up in Prescott, AZ, a little over 2 years ago, which gives us access to the mountains and deserts and only 90 minutes to Sedona as well.

[@elmog0218]

LOVE this episode! For the longest time I had dreamed of living on a houseboat. This brought a lot of perspective into the realities. Not everything is ‘sleepless in Seattle’! 😊 loved the spirit of the community tho. There’ve been many a Stone-Soup meal that I’ve instigated. 😉🥴😉

Thank you guys that was really enjoyable. I used to live in Corte Madera real close to Sausalito and it was neat to see my old area.

Hey you guys! Great to see you in my neighborhood. I live in San Rafael. Many friends that live on the waterfront. Great to kayak from your back deck! I sailed on a boat from a nearby dock where you were. Always appreciated time on the Bay. So close to civilization, yet definitely in nature and peaceful. I'm glad Dave brought up the Anchor Outs. They are a big part of the Sausalito culture and important to consider. Good to explore this lifestyle.

[@ayanamadrone]

I really enjoyed your video and learning a bit about the houseboat community in San Francisco. It’s incredible to see the strength of a community when people know each other and are looking out for one another. This is something that we are all capable of, but sadly this is sorely lacking in so many communities because people do not connect or talk to one another. We are stronger and healthier when we have that engagement and protective shelter of a community. Looking forward to seeing where you guys will land! Do you have a preference for where you would like to live (location wise) ?

[@sandrap3047]

Super cool community & cool guy! Loved hearing the history!

[@bevtrue6937]

The houseboats in Sausalito are sooo wicked cool. (I used to live in Fairfax and Tiburon), so right in the area. Unfortunately too much bucks!! NO, you would NOT think it was fun wallowing through the mud. Make sure whatever you buy is very solid. Wow, so many issues. I have been gone since 1999. I had no idea that so many issues have popped up. So sad. I had thought they were cheaper because there was no land only floating houses.
