However, there are inherent frustrations that come with this lifestyle no matter how nice the setting is, and of course I ask Marissa and Chris to share some of the downsides, too. </p><p><br></p><p>This episode has great tips for anyone considering the liveaboard life, especially in a marina, and we talk all about practical matters like costs and quality of marina facilities, how much boat work is too much to do in your slip and more. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Links mentioned in this episode&nbsp;</strong>⬇️<strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p>🖥 Sailing Avocet <a href=\"https://www.svavocet.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">website</a></p><p>📸 SV Avocet on <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/svavocet/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram</a></p><p>🎥 Sailing Avocet on <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/c/SailingAvocet\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Youtube</a></p><p>🖥 Sailing Avocet on <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/svavocet/?view_public_for=487894968302421\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook&nbsp;</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>🟡&nbsp;<strong>Let's be social!</strong></p><p><strong>Come check out extra content on&nbsp;</strong><a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/liveaboardsailingpodcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Patreon!</strong></a></p><p>Come find me and fellow listeners on&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/liveaboardsailingpodcast/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram</a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/liveaboardsailingpodcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook</a>, and let's keep the conversation going.
