My role is to make you comfortable with the new terms and concept of living on the water in a floating home instead of a house or condo. One of the biggest things to get used to, if you are not already a boater, is facing the sometimes inclement weather as you schlepp your groceries down from your garage or parking. It won’t take long to figure out that each time you leave your float home, or take out the trash and recycling, that you take it in manageable amounts. Don’t forget that the majority of float homes on the lower mainland are tidal and will rise and fall twice a day with the tide.
