      Living on a boat at Toronto Island Marina means that Pat and John Dyer can cast off and sail for the Bahamas if they feel like it -- but it also means claustrophobia that impels them to dine out three times a week. A dozen people live on boats in Metro all year, and life afloat suits them just fine.
