Watch this Documentary about Houseboats

[jbraud]

There is a really cool new documentary on PBS that is airing on August 31st. It called Atchafalaya Houseboat and it is essential for anyone interesting in houseboats or boating.

The story follow a couple's journey as they built their own houseboat in the Atchafalaya Basin. They lived off the land (and water) for almost a decade.

To see more information go to http://www.lpb.org/programs/houseboat/

Be sure to see how they did it on August 31st at 10:30 pm ET on PBS

Why do they not list a PDT?

Anyway, how was it? I had hoped to check it out but I never got around to checking the local guide for the time. The girl looked somewhat hot in the ad pictures.

Wow... this was a great show. I'm watching it again tomorrow night. It comes on at 8:30 CT in Louisiana. DVR it if you can't watch. I've been in many of the places shown here and even to their houseboat WAY back when (had to ask my dad for sure). The pictures are great... it's just like going back in time.
