Of course boats constantly break and need maintenance.  The forward head took 4 days to diagnose, call around to find out everyone is too busy to help, get parts, R&R a couple of times, but it's working great now with a new macerator and pump assembly.

There are many Parks around Longboat Key.  This one has a boardwalk through the salt marsh.

G0 Big or go home? In this case, I guess it's both.

I see the boat.  Where's the house?
