Ever dream of having your own boat and living aboard? Just cutting your ties to the humdrum existence, the "same old, same old" that land dwelling represents? The Liveaboards is a contemporary fiction romance about people who are adventuresome or persistent or desperate enough to be genuine liveaboards, people who float endlessly with no home on land. But even liveaboards must have a place to access water and power and fuel. And that place is a marina. At Sunset Marina on Lake Guntersville in northern Alabama, the boating neighborhood is intimate and yet ever changing. Sunset Marina offers sanctuary to an eclectic mix of people who live there for myriad reasons in all sorts of crafts. Locally grown Southerners tolerate living inches from "damn Yankees" (those who won't go home) all for the love of boats. Although they are not completely isolated from the problems of the greater society, such as crystal methamphetamine, they can escape them for days into isolated coves. And love? Well, love is the same on land or on water. Or maybe not. Some liveaboards think they can create their very own "Love Boat." Who knows?
