| View to the right (West)--bridge to Holden Beach in background |
 |
| View across the waterway |
 |
| Across the waterway as well |
 |
| The dock from our boat, the ramp, the million-dollar boat that just sits... |
 |
| Half of the travel-lift, the thing that puts the boats in the water. Or takes them out. |
 |
| More boats, in various stages of repair or neglect. Each one has a story. |
 |
| Our deck, travel lift in background. |
 |
| The view from our companionway-- the main entrance to the boat. Our barbecue is on the right. Binnacle (with steering wheel, compass etc.) is in the center. |
 |
| A corner of the cockpit. The round porthole on the right opens into the galley. |
 |
| My beloved plants, also in the cockpit. There is a large ledge on either side of the companionway, looking toward the bow. This is one of them. |
 |
| Looking down into the salon from the companionway. |
 |
| Galley on the left (port) side. Rudy worked hard in here, building in my tiny (big enough) toaster oven and microwave, new 3-burner propane stove and tiny (not really big enough) oven. But I'm not complaining! It's mine, it's clean, and it's not the trailer!! |
 |
| Port side settee |
 |
| Still port side-- the table opens to twice that size, and if we ever eat anywhere besides the cockpit, we might use it! Looks like I should be doing some inspired writing in this spot, doesn't it?? |
 |
| The door at the left goes to the forward V-berth. Sleeps two if it isn't filled with junk. Also at the left is the main (my) potty. |
 |
| This is what's on the door to the V-berth. "Love many, trust few, do wrong to none." |
 |
| This is what's behind that door (the V-berth). It's not usually this neat. I'm still trying to find places for everything that make sense. My clothes are in here, in a small hanging closet, and in some teeny tiny drawers. |
 |
| If you were standing in that same doorway looking back toward the companionway and up those stairs at the center to the cockpit, this is what you'd see. |
 |
| Now we're looking at the right (starboard) side settee. Don't ask me why it's called a settee. It's just a couch. And not a very comfortable one at that. But Rudy is sound asleep on it at the moment, so I guess it's comfortable enough! |
 |
| Continuing up the starboard side, the navigation station, which will be neater in the future. It's opposite the galley. Now you have to duck down to go through "the troll passage," to the right, which contains, to port and starboard, the following two areas: |
 |
| Ooh. This is where Rudy's tools have come to roost. Will have shelves, etc, in the future, and more stuff will probably end up here, but it will probably not get any neater. |
 |
| The engine. Looks a little scary, works great. Knock on wood. |
 |
| You emerge from the troll passage and can once again stand up straight in our lovely master berth. You can't see the nice closet to the left, the small bit of floor, or the master (Rudy's) potty to the right, but they're all there. A large opening hatch above our heads shows the night sky, and a porthole on each side lets the air flow all around us. |
 |
| Cheerful guardians of the troll passage. |
