"So what do you do after the kids are grown and gone from home? Sam and Judy Haigh had an unusual idea. They weren't just going to become liveaboards. Anyone can do that. No, the couple decided to buy a retired military vessel—a 1953 Army T-boat—and restore it as their own home-sweet-home.

At least that was the plan."
