- About Me:
- We have a lakeside house for sale to purchase a houseboat for full time liveaboard. Since my husband and I know NOTHING about boats, I have been studying everything I can get hold of to learn everything I can. I hope my husband really wants this adventure as much as I do and not just trying to please me. We plan on staying on inland lakes in Ky for 6 years then retire and travel other waters.
- Current location:
- Rough River Lake, Ky., United States
- Destinations visited:
- Barren River Lake, Green River Lake, Lake Cumberland
- Looking to:
- Find my aluminum or fiberglass hull houseboat about12'- 14' by 38' -46' with queen size bed, outboard motor,inverter,generator,or solar panels-- to live on the rest of my life!
