Boasting About Boats

Every two years a boat needs to be taken out of the water and cleaned off. This is called putting it "in drydock". This is a lift that gets the boat out of the water. The Overmans live full time on their boat and spent the nights on their boat even in drydock. That is a 10 foot ladder that is up the side.















This is Charlie Overman and Kristy is on the boat.














They unzip this beautiful new cover and climb in. It's not alot of room.It has solar power, and that small dingy in the back. The light bulb on the top of the mast (58 1/2 feet above the water) is out and they are looking for someone they can lift in a chair to go up there to change it.... any takers?






















People try and be clever when they name their boats. Here is a sample of a few. The " East
Infection" boat is down water somewhere and I couldn't find it again.....
