Re: Information and recommendations
Sounds like a blast! I hope you enjoy every minute of it.
I would love to do this someday so I have done a little research on houseboating in general.
Although I don't have any specfic links, (I just did a google search on it) i found quite a few helpful websites especially if you have never houseboated before.
A couple things that i remember:
Get a bowrider / runabout / jetski type of boat to pull along. Used for exploring and running to get stuff from marina's, tubing, etc.
Be sure you know what is provided with the boat. (Linens, towels, etc)
Assign jobs to everyone for docking, beaching, etc. No one will be in the way then.
Keep coolers covered with damp towels. Know what you want before getting into a cooler. Ice melts very fast.
Grocery shopping nearby is easier with a well prepared list ahead of time. Stop at the store just before arriving and load up. If traveling with multiple people, communicate as to not carry duplicate stuff. (2 bottle of ketchup, etc)
Just a couple of things that stood out to me. Sounds like you are getting a very nice boat. You may not need to worry about some of this stuff. (Fridge may be large enough, depending on how long you want to run the generator).
Hope you have a great time and be sure to stop back in here and share your experience with the rest of us!
