There are generally only two categories between those who live on land and those who live on boats:

Live Aboard: one who lives aboard a boat.
Land Lubber: the term given to those who live on land by those who live aboard boats.

But another couple friends of ours introduced us to a third category. They had lived aboard their 30’ sailboat for, I think it was 7 years, with their twin daughters when they decided to buy a house and move back on land. Not wanting to be known as Land Lubbers, they introduced us to the term Clods. C.L.O.D. stands for Cruisers Living On Dirt … Clods – has a nice ring to it.
