Walking the Docks

It was a cloudy overcast afternoon here but a good day to go exploring around the docks.  And while we were at it we decided to look for that looper boat that came in recently posting on the Looper blog that he was “behind” a houseboat. 

 We had not walked all of the 4 long docks here so this was an interesting afternoon looking at the variety of boats.   Here is a houseboat that is parked next to us. They are not retired but just like being full time “live-aboards”.  She is the editor of the local paper and he works full time for the marina.

 

This is a huge houseboat behind us.....the fans on the front deck are always on but we have not seen this folks since we arrived here almost 4 weeks ago.

On C dock we find this little houseboat at the gate......going by the windows it may have two areas of bunk beds.

Another small one on this dock.

Then we walked down to D dock and found mostly sail boats and no houseboats.

Going by the club house and pool area we went out the gate to A dock. This was the last unexplored dock.  Near the end of the dock we found this houseboat which was named, “God's Glory”.

And right across or in front of it was the elusive Looper boat, “Sea Ya,” and owner Dave came out to chat with us. They completed the loop several years ago.... of course we found all he had to say very interesting....he is like Captain Walter, doing most all of his own maintenance.

It is so humid today... a warning of the forecast 100% rain to come tomorrow.

Windlass motor update: They just started working on it today!!!!....if our tech guy and my Captain had just let this experienced nagger first mate do the calling I bet those boys would have had that gizmo fixed and shipped by now!
