It became a place to store rods, reels, etc. With the CC, I'm forced to put stuff away, where it belongs, rather than just put it in the cabin for the next time. John, you're right. Small cuddies are glorified enclosed bow boats, and yes, it's a good place for storage, and it keeps everything dry and out of the sun... but you! At 6'4" I couldn't sleep in the cuddie of my 23' Marquis if I had to. But I'm going to take advantage of the space and do some cool things with it.

After examining (thank you) the lay out of your camper trailer, I saw how the builders made the absolute maximum creature comforts in the space provided. My craftsman/carpenter buddy and I are working out details for the modding. That sounds exciting! What are you planning to do in there? Not really sure yet, John. Not any room for a shower or a real 'head' but,,, small sink and pressured water. even hot water can be arranged... I'll be checking out camper/RV components for a while. They make seat covers for Home Depot buckets. http://tinyurl.com/2e9qhsf What more could you want? Hey, that's an idea but it takes up too much interior room. What's the matter with hanging it over the side? Wife might not like the idea but I'd say she could get used to it...... Reply: Problem with the bucket models is they turn over a lot easier and then spill a lot easier than a $60 Porta-potti. I always have a bucket on the boat for one thing or another. Normally, it's not used as a toilet. But, I've had occasion where a passenger has gotten sick from both ends. Then it's nice to have something useful. Of course, it's against the law to empty the bucket over the side, but sometimes **** happens (pun intended). It also counts toward the USCG required "bailing device." Yup. |

From the time I first saw promos on it, I thought it'd be fun to take the family there -- but it almost seems like a giant Las Vegas hotel transplanted. I don't expect it'd be quaint but mega with a bunch of rotund American consumers flooding the place wouldn't be my cup of tea. |

More like a cross between Disneyland and Las Vegas by all reports. We've met a number of people who have stayed at the marina and all liked it with the caveat that it's a bit pricey. |

Isnt' just about anything on ocean front property? The marina at Atlantis charges at least 2 or 3 times the going rate for dockage with some high minimums if my memory is correct. People we have met liked it for the entertainment value however. The environment there is also very cloistered compared to most marinas in Nassau. |

I had few options from my balcony and the ship's captain was not willing to move the davit or wait until I could get up on deck for a better shot. We were on the fast side of hull speed.
