Next message: De Clarke: "Re: lv-ab: advice needed on custom boat insurance"
Is there a good book or website I could read about the details
of establishing a "home base" -- a legal address for onshore
purposes -- while living nomadically or semi-nomadically on
one's boat? Do most folks enlist a trusted friend or family
member as their onshore agent to receive mail and packages,
etc?
Somehow the income tax must get paid, the boat registration
fees, etc. If the sailor has held onto any onshore property
then there's prop tax and/or mortgages or rent to be paid on
time. Phone banking is great but it only goes so far :-)
To do business (order boat parts etc) you need a credit card
and the credit card company needs a permanent address... and
so forth.
Anyway I was wondering how maritime nomads deal with all this;
there must be a How To book or a web site with examples of
how to establish an onshore identity and and address of
convenience solidly enough to keep various institutions happy.
