And the definition of a houseboat says any sleeping quarters, even if temporary.

II. "Houseboat'' means any ship, boat, raft, float, catamaran or marine craft of any description upon or within which are located sleeping and toilet facilities, regardless of whether such facilities are of a permanent or temporary nature.

So if you lay on a cushion, or on a deck, I suppose that is a temporary sleeping facilities. So if you sleep on a boat, it's a houseboat and these rules apply. Or am I wrong?
