What an amazing way of living? I still feel overwhelmed to think how it would feel to get up in the mornings to look at the whole body of water surrounding you, to look at the Sun, to eat, play, sleep and work in the floating vessel and how it would feel to bring in people and simply say that, Hi! this is my Home!" Am overwhelmed for words!
God bless the people who really own a piece of this ship!!! May be one day..
