Update

Hello all
Well it's been awhile since I posted anything. The state of the economy has kept everyone kind of in a flap, me to it seems. But we can't dwell on that can we?
To give you an update, We are berthed on the Miami river between the Flagler st. bridge and the new 5th st. bridge. The facility is the old National fisheries site. It's a three building complex. The up river building is occupied by an artist, He uses it as a studio. He just finished some sculptures made of steel for a show in Scotland. The middle building is the landlord's office space. and the down river one is just used for storage. We have a very small community going on here. Bryon lives on a 37' sailboat, Me on the big iron boat , and Koi, Tinkerbell, Zoe, and Sam on a pearson trawler. It's gated, secure and comfortable. We have a couple of comercial fisherman who also share the docks with us. they fish for the resturant/fish market across the river.
Life on the river progresses at a slow pace. There is a lot of large freighters that ply the river. We now have three tug Co's hauling them in and out .The two resturants across the river generate a lot of boat traffic on the weekends and it can be a circus watching them dock at times. It helps fill our day's.
We have been slowly getting the boat spiffed up. Two of my Nephews came down and painted the starboard side of the boat. My daughter ( The Blog master ) Catherine and My grandson Nolan spend the Christmas holidays with me and have undertaken the chore of painting the interior. So far they have painted the sun room and both crew cabins and have prepped the galley. We have hung a few painting's . Things are looking up. I have included a few Pic's
Enjoy.
More to follow, I promise
