L-R: Breakfast time — my dad and mom, Larry, and Shirley.
See the small fan — each cabin had its own fan, run from a 12V battery system (more on that below).
Looking aft through the dining area. Two cabins side-by-side under the aft upper deck. A ladder leads up to the upper deck.
Looking forward across the dining area. Auxilliary helm at left. A ladder leads down beside it to the small galley and into the forward cabin.
My mom and Shirley in the galley. It has a stovetop and oven, although all we used was the refrigerator. Gotta keep the wine and cheese refrigerated.
One of the aft cabins.
One of the heads. Each cabin had its own head (!), which doubled as a shower.
Go see my Toilets of the World page if you're really into plumbing details.
Pump flushing, to flush the head into the holding tank. Not really a perfect system, but it works.
These more elaborate pump toilets were on the newer model we rented on our first trip.
The older and simpler technology on the older model was superior. A foot level opened the flapper valve at the bottom, and you could either pump water in by hand or, more effectively, use the detachable shower head.
