Houseboat owner told to dock vessel [Video]




The first thing you notice about Jim Walsh's 1,300 square-foot home is the waterfront view, but Captain Jim Walsh says the two-story houseboat is more boat, than house.


Quote from the article:

"It has a bow; therefore, it has a stern, port and starboard," says the captain. "It's not a structure. It doesn't belong on the land."

But that's not the way the Florida Department of Environmental Protection sees it. The state EPA says this boathouse is more like a residence, and for that reason, his friend Katy D. can't rent out her dock on Indian River Drive to her boat captain friend.
