"Lundberg said his lawyer sent a letter to the port a few days ago explaining that he and his wife, Mary Breuer, are not live-aboards because the boat is not their primary residence. Though they usually sleep on the ferry from Sunday through Thursday, their primary home is in Sonoma County, where they spend weekends."
