If you have ever thought about combining the adventure of Huck Finn's raft with the charm of uncle jeb's fifth wheel trailer, then you are ready to head to sea with the Nancy Lou. This floating refuge has all the modern conveniences but still with an essence of camping that you might not be able to find anywhere else. All this supported by an outgoing dock staff that aims to please and can procure any manner of products and services. Be sure to ask about the "Dick Nixon" impersonation.
Comfortable for two adults or a small family, there is sleeping space for 4 with the “bench bed” being only suitable for a smaller person, or child. The kitchen and bathroom accommodations are quite good and more than one might expect while moored in the tidal currents of the Maine coast. At first I was concerned about getting my sea legs but movement is never much more than gentle rocking. However, one might want to be careful on your first night on the boat. I found the undulations of the water seemed to potentiate the generally mild effects of my Negroni.
The Nancy Lou also has a top-side fly deck which greatly increased your living space and offered a fine location to relax, enjoy a cigar or take a nap. Climbing up the ladder has a very nautical feel but caution is warranted to ensure solid footing when coming topside (See above Negroni reference).
So, paradise awaits you on the Nancy Lou as does the DVD of the movie Jaws that we left behind, which I recommend should be shown continuously. In fact, I have to say the similarity of the eating areas of the Nancy Lou and the Orca cannot be a coincidence.
However, you can ignore one of Chief Brody's recommendations.... you are not going to need a bigger boat.
