Easily solved.. after dark we move that stuff from the salon to the Vberth, or just duck down onto the shag carpet.

Then, I'm going to show them to my wife and explain to her why we need to do the Great Loop or just spend more time up in the Great White North - when it's not white!
When you have free time one day, create a new string and show us where the best spots to float around are up there?!
I can do better than that browse here and if you have any questions about any one photo email me.

I find so many who do the loop don't spend enough time to really see the beauty of the east side of Georgian Bay. It is an area that deserves at least 2 months to get a good feel. It is an area that one needs to pay attention to the charts pretty much all the time when you go off the marked route.

I did say "if privacy is important to you". If you want to be an exibitionist, I'll watch.

You could also try turning off the lights. Some things are better in the dark.
I just wanted to bring out the point. Wouldn't want some one to go through the expence without knowing.

I HAD THE ORIGINAL WINDSHIELD COVER (SOLID MATERIAL) HAD A NEW SUNBRELLA MADE TWO YEARS AGO. THE NEW ONE ALLOWS A LOT MORE LIGHT IN THAN THE SOLID. YOU CAN SEE OUT BUT NOT CLEARLY AT NIGHT WITH LIGHTS ON YOU CAN SEE INSIDE BUT ONLY SHADOWS.

Thanks! I will send an email about where you think a better is best to buy a summer cottage or rent for a month to check things out, etc. Looks like a nice place for a seaplane too...like this one:

Cool plane but still in idea stage.
Another option would be to rent a boat to live on and explore with... I'm sure I could find a suitable vessel for you to use.

Looks like a great plane, but the salon is a bit small, not much galley space, sleeping quarters are tight, and the head is restricted. On the positive side when you put it to the wood it really flies, and you get a lot better milage then I do with my twin 440's....

speaking of planes.... i hear there is a ''slightly used'' airbus A320 for sale....... a little damp still, but might be a great cabin in the woods for someone onece she is dried out. i can personally attest, the aft galley has tons of work space. i am sure that N106US would be good for something since she is permanently grounded.
