Slip is not the worse. When you go out on a. trip, you have to pay for occasional slips that are double, the triple the cost you relay on, because you are a gust or invite on their yacht club/marina/whatever . You realize you are a business to everyone and not a dream of naval research or leisure in having a coffee on the sea ,while reading a book. You figure out your dream is a fraction over the reality of spending, maintaining, stressing and distress 99% of the time. The less you use it, the best, but if you don't use it, it break more when using it. You always loose. If you are not an experienced boat owner/operator , don't buy , just don't. Spend many as you can charting to discover how far your reality matches with the boating life. Most of the boaters can't sleep on an anchor and search marina with hotels/Inn/ resort to book a suite. The same goes to having to clean the boat, in and out EVERY SINGLE DAY, plus the kitchen, the laundry, the piloting, the provisions. It's a house on the fly, and then the ultimate backdrop, when you travel, you discover your dog is not allowed anywhere, you have to rental cars and skip the famous restaurants and not complaining since you are being being having a boat, the most estimated retiree option from outside. Deal with it or run away.

I clicked away from this video the moment it showed a commercial fishing trawler. If your AI can't tell the difference between that and a live aboard recreational boat, your algorithm and therefore your content is garbage.
