Houseboats are amazing! Who knew??

Seriously, this was such a unique and amazing trip. I had very little boating experience and none on a houseboat before we did this, but with the help of the marina staff I felt comfortable taking the boat out.

Even when I got stuck on a beach (not totally my fault) and when I didn't tie it down properly (mostly my fault) they were able to help me get situated. Our motor had a minor problem at one point (Ended up being a little 5a fuze. Seriously minor), but the staff was so responsive and helpful that I wasn't even worried. We just hopped on the paddle boards and did some cliff jumping.

If we had used a private renter or been on our own boat with engine troubles, I would not have been so relaxed! But they've got a whole team working on keeping these boats going.

In the end we had a fantastic, relaxing, trip with some great friends. We made memories that will last a lifetime and are looking forward to next time!
