Well, went and got some more pics developed. These are of the inside of the boat. The Catalina has a 12 foot beam (which means it's 12 foot wide) and it has a 5 and 1/2 foot draft (which means it has that much boat under the waterline, mostly keel but alot of cabin too) so most of the time that we spend down in the cabin is technically spent below water. The first one is from the center of the boat looking back towards the companionway entrance. The second one is looking from the companionway forward on the port side (left side) in the salon. The third is the starboard side (right side) and you can see the V-berth at the bow of the boat. The last one is of the boys room or aft berth, their bed is tucked away on the right side of the picture. Anyway, gives everyone an idea what we're living in.
We have pressurized water, hot and cold, gas stove and oven, we have a toilet(head) shower and electric for everything from microwave to fancy coffee maker by Keurig to a flat-screen tv and playstation for the boys, which they rarely use. When we finally do leave and head south, all that stuff will be taken off the boat, because we won't be using shore power a whole lot, we'll be anchoring most of the time. We even have our own little Christmas tree!
