so 1 of my dreams was to live on a house boat
problem is I have never even been in a boat
and I dont even realy live by much water (except the illinois river)

here are some questions:
are there schools to learn how to drive boats?

or is that something thats just passed down by sailors or self taught?

is there rent on a house boat? (ya im seriously asking that lol)

is it true there is no laws in the middle of the ocean?

are house boats just as expensive as a real house?
whats an average price?

lets say I have a house boat on the ocean
can I just go any where or stop any where to sleep
or do I have to dock at certain times

are yacht’s the technical term for house boat? or are they something completely diffrent

sorry for all the questions
I have no experiance with boats
I just always thought it would be fun living on a house boat

pretty much any info on houseboats or the life style would be cool
