I live on a sailboat with my husband and dog – there’s tons of storage and a ‘man cave,’ I shower outside when it pours
A TINY homeowner revealed how she lives on a sailboat with her husband and dog.
While traveling is a huge perk, a compromise was showering outside when it rains.
Tula (@tulasendlesssummer) shared a home tour in a viral TikTok video.
She showed off her “V-room,” their designated guest room that contained twin bunks and a bathroom.
An engine room serves as her husband Bill’s mancave with plenty of space to gaze out the water.
Upstairs, their living room or saloon housed their kitchen, fridge, freezer, a couch, a large table, lawn chairs, and plenty of storage space.
Downstairs, their bedroom, or Captain’s Quarters, was large enough to fit a queen-sized bed, a bathroom, a shower, and large dressers.
“This boat has tons of storage but the best thing about it is the boat dog,” she joked.
In another video, decked out in a swimsuit, she explained that she and her husband took full advantage of the rain.
First, they set up a “catchment” to fill up their water tanks, which are used for washing dishes, showers, and of course, drinking.
With a heavy downpour, she was able to collect lots of rainwater.
To save on H2O, she explained that she and her husband did their best to preserve water.
“We rarely go to a dock so full boat baths are saved for days with excess water like today,” she said.
Tula explained that while she had a hefty list of renovations she wanted to do, she was happy with the state of her boat.
“Still on the list of things to do: Paint the stairway to the v-berth, redo cabin bathroom floor, paint new ceiling panels, varnish the floors… we will get there someday,” she said.
People were impressed by their spacious and tidy home.

“Beautiful. Love the clean engine room and large captain’s quarters,” said one commenter.
“This is so awesome!” said another.
“I so want to do this! Travel the world, visit port towns all living on a boat,” said one inspired viewer.
“Y’all showing my dream can be achieved!”
Some expressed concerns about the cleanliness of their drinking water.
“I understand for cleaning and showering……can you really drink rainwater….serious question?” said one commenter.
A farmer revealed that they relied on rainwater for all their drinking needs with no issues.
“It’s all we drink at the farm we work on, we have no access to mains water,” they said.
The commenter, appeased by the answer, was happy to learn something new.
“I always thought it still had to be filtered anyway but if it works, it works!” they replied.
