Our little home on the water

Since we are having a few rainy days and waiting on the inverter and the rain, I thought I would finally put up some pictures of our boat. I have been meaning to do this for awhile. 
This is our front door.  Pretty cool huh? Probably the only time in my life that I will have a mermaid on my front door and a lizard doorbell.  We think they are awesome! The boat came with them so we just lucked out!  And no way are we changing those awesome details. :)

 This is the salon which is the first room you step into. It is our family room, dining room, TV room, school room, etc.   It is also a handy storage area because all the seats have storage below them. We still need to get a couple pillows or new curtains and work on the decor a little.

Here is our cozy little kitchen (the galley). Microwave, sink, stove, oven, fridge/ freezer; it has all the basics in mini form. The fridge/freezer is found when you lift the big counter on the left. Pretty handy.

So if you go down the stairs to the left you first come to Paul and Kate's room. It is in the port aft cabin (back left).  We are the only lucky ones with a TV in our bedroom- one of the few perks of being the mom and dad :). Basically a bed, closet, bench, and a little under bed storage.

Go down the hall and you next come to the head (bathroom). It is a little hard to take pics because of the narrow door, but I tried. The bathroom has a cool ocean view hatch huh? When we are out in the ocean the water is so much prettier.

After the head is a hallway with another bench and closet and then you come to our pantry and extra freezer.  A previous owner converted the usual bedroom here to the shelves and freezer and we like that for feeding the six of us. Also, behind the little door is more storage space.


So if you go down to the right (starboard side) you first find Lucy and Emily's room.

It is set up the same as the other side with a hallway, bathroom, and then we come to Jack's room.  Beyond that you can see Mr. Noah's cute little room when the door is open between them.

Now for a close up of Noah's cute little room. It goes to the very front of the boat - that is why it is getting narrower.  It works out good for Noah.

That is basically it. The cockpit has lots of seating and a table which gives us more space and we can climb/walk/sit on all the other outside parts of the boat so that helps when we need a little space too.
  Of course the hammock in the cock pit is also one of our very favorite areas to hang out.
