Most of the time, quite well, thank you. You’ve seen a lot of pictures of the outside of our boat but I don’t think I’ve shown you the inside. Even though we measure out at less than 200 sq. feet of inside space, it is a well-designed, multi-purpose space ,decked out in rich teak wood and totally surrounded by large windows which makes it light and airy. It’s redone in new upholstery/foam and the blue/beige color scheme is nautical and pleasing to us.
Picture #1 shows our main salon or our “great room.” It has his/her matching settees, a drop-leaf table used for dining, desk, or workbench (Bob, make sure to put down the quilted cover). Everything is built-in so every square inch is used. There is storage underneath every space which allows us to stock-up on provisions for at least 3 weeks.
Picture #2 shows our downstairs steering and navigation station. When we dock or anchor for the night, the nav station becomes our TV/reading lamp area. We have Direct TV, XM radio, Wi-Fi or Air Card so are pretty well-connected when we can get a signal.
Picture #3 shows our galley or kitchen. It has a 3 burner propane stove and oven, microwave, multi-use counter space, and a 18”X19”X29” fridge which included a 12”X12”X7” freezer section. How can you live with only that amount of refrigeration? It takes planning-- we can go 3 weeks if I pack the freezer with individual serving sections of meat and plan out our menus a bit. I know a lot of Loopers have standard size fridges plus extra freezers but these take a lot of power to maintain. The one thing we’re really missing is ice cubes and we have been known to walk the docks at Happy Hour, saying, “Please, sir, can I have some cubes.”
Picture #4 is our sleeping area or V-berth as it is literally shaped like the letter V. There is storage below our bed and the closet area is to the left. You cannot be into multiple outfits and coordinating accessories and live on this boat. I am more of an REI uniform gal so the closet space works quite well for me. I like the minimalist approach to clothes but this would not be for everyone. Our bathroom or head is to the left and is quite small but it has a sink, vanity, toilet, and small shower. We tend to use marina bathrooms when we’re in port and it has been quite adequate but definitely not sumptuous.
Picture #5 shows our backporch or aft deck. It offers an additional 8 ft.X10ft space for relaxing and entertaining and there is storage below the entire area.
Picture #6 shows our upper station or flybridge with our bimini down so you can see it better. We have a lot of storage up there (bikes, grill, etc.) and it is a great place to take in the view.
Do I wish we had more space sometimes? Sure. Bob would love a LazyBoy. We’ve done quite well and have shared space pretty well. A small space has to be picked-up and luckily we are both on the neat side.
On land, we have “downsized” to a 1400 sq foot condo in Denver but all we really need is the 10ftX20ft 3 season porch to feel like home.
