House Boating Aug 30 - Sept 5, 2016


August 30, 2016
Our first day:

Miss Bessie is a 66 ft tri level house boat that has "5 Queen Size Private State Rooms plus 1 bunk bed room • 3 Queen cuddy Rooms • 3 Full Private Heads" and a hot tub!

Getting everything loaded on to the boat




A little bit of relaxing before we head out
Captain Jim - he loved driving this vessel

Ready to go!

And we are off!

We had to wait for a while to get permission to move from Mara Lake through the channel, under/through the bridges and out on to Shuswap Lake. Our boat was so tall we had to wait for the trains to go and then the train bridge swung open to allow our boat through.

Stopping for the night and letting the girl out to play on the beach





Scott's bosses are in town and so he wasn't able to join us yet on the house boat. We will be taking the small ski boat we brought along to go back to the dock and pick up Scott.
