Poet, historian and builder Keith H. Emmons moved to the California Sausalito waterfront on San Francisco Bay in 1972 with his wife Jane. They spotted an ad for a WWII Landing Craft boat converted to a live-aboard dwelling and bought it for $1,400. This was the Moondrifter. Then they moved to another houseboat, the Fortune Cookie.
