Tiny Houseboat Gets LOST

[@thewatchman6074]

I'm always super impressed by that tiny camper. It can get in such shallow waters.

[@roydesignedthat]

The key is that I can control her from up front, looking down in the water and drafting just 6in at dead slow! Polaroid glasses are also key. I do not bother with a depth sounder. It would not tell me about the bolder ahead of the boat, so it is a wasteful item. It would just make Di nervous as I'm always playing in the shallows! BestRoy

I really admire what you are doing. I have been a carpenter all of my career and I think that your houseboats are great. I don't think that I have enough drive to finish a large project like that. The places that you go just look amazing. You should be very proud of what you have accomplished. Maybe even write a book, houseboat adventures. Thanks for taking the time to video all of your adventures and put it on line for the rest of us to enjoy. Sincerely, Joe

Thanks so much, Joe! I think it helps that I'm an idealist! When I get an idea in my head, I insist on seeing the real deal! I've built many things and know if you keep at it, it'll get done eventually. Time passes regardless, so why not have something to show for it down the road. It is a sweet feeling transitioning from the build to using your houseboat! My goal is to spend more time doing so! A book you say? My bride thinks I should write one as well, but it would be a big project, I'm not sure I could have the patience! Lol! Take care Joe, thanks so much for the encouragement! BestRoy

I wish I was forty years younger, I'd build every one of your boats!!

[@ATAP...AnotherTime]

I would stay lost for a long time guys... Stunning ❤👍

[@roydesignedthat]

I hope to one day be more free to get lost all the time! Lol!

So pretty! We continue to be impressed with what Dianne's Rose can do! Great tip about reversing after hitting a patch of weeds or sea grass to clear the gunk from the prop.

[@roydesignedthat]

Thanks, guys! Glad to see your repair work complete and Baby Blue good to go! By the way, my MiniD will have a similar color scream! AllthebestRoy

WOW, what a beautiful area.

[@roydesignedthat]

It is but also timeless!

[@TJRICH-rs6rd]

This sure beats the heck out of the Rideau Cannal. Absolutely delightful.

[@roydesignedthat]

Although this is a short run vs a longer Rideau! Di and must do that run at one point! DIANNE'S ROSE, visiting the parlament building!

[@davelawrence6777]

[@roydesignedthat]

Any time Dave!

[@roydesignedthat]

[@Mary-yu3sn]

[@roydesignedthat]

Thanks for the tip, how do I do that? I'm so old! Lol!

[@backwatersandbackroads]

A good example of why we live in the Northland;)

[@roydesignedthat]

I like when I see you poking up small rivers or into small coves as this is my favorite part! Few motor boats could make it into this spot! Did you see the tree that fell> we tied up to that years ago! That could have been bad timing! Lol!

[@backwatersandbackroads]

@roydesignedthat this is a video o watch twice Roy ;) we're back to parallel lines with you...skinny water ans big water coming up ,)

[@cruisingwithrangertugwande8041]
