Staying at Joel’s houseboat “the float club”
Joel and Hanne. We met Joel at the boatyard in Portland, Oregon, by the impressive Columbia river and spent three wonderful days on his houseboat. Besides being a boat aficionado Joel is also a wonderful photographer - take a look at his Flickr site http://www.flickr.com/photos/buckaroobob/
Everywhere in the houseboat you could feel Joel’s exuberant energies that created this magic place. I especially fell in love with this detail from the bathroom - old typewriter from the pre digital, even pre electric days….standing just in front of the toilet.

Columbia river by night - thank you Joel and Kathleen, it was such a great time we spent together, hope you will use the talking stick
