Ceol na Mara

Let the summer begin! While Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of summer, I got a sneak peek last night of the place I will be spending most summer nights and weekends, aboard the hubby’s new boat, Ceol na Mara.

For those of you non-Irish speakers out there, Ceol na Mara is Irish for music of the sea. We had a few names but finally decided that Ceol na Mara was the perfect name. Getting the name painted on is at the top of the to-do list this week.

Would you like to take a tour?

Here we have the sleeping area. to the front and side

And a more private sleeping area to the back, underneath the stairs. Those piles are just the canvasses drying out a little. The constant dampness of late has taken its toll!

I don’t think I’ll be whipping up any gourmet meals, but the galley does include a sink, refrigerator, microwave, and one burner for cooking.

When shopping for the boat, my priority was the bathroom. A toilet, sink, and shower complete the cabin area and make this well-hydrated girl happy.

Most of the outside of the boat is covered by a canvas top that can be removed, but for sunning while the boat is not moving at high speeds, the front is wide open.

I found my spot!

A boat has been my husband’s goal for several years, and I have rarely ever seen him as happy as he was last night. I have to tell you, that was the best part!

What’s making you happy today?
