RIVER CRUISING

Today we ventured out with the boat and checked out the rivers. We have always wanted to, just never got to it. Forecast was rain so we brought the covers and we were able to stay dry when it would pour. Had some sun breaks and was able to see a lot of pretty sights. Was a nice way to see the city. We want to go back and tie up to the dock at Newport Bay Restaurant and have lunch.

Our city has a lot of cool bridges. This is only 2 of what we saw.

I took a picture of this tugboat because my husband grew up on one that looked very similiar. He said that this one might be a little bigger but not by much. His family lived on this instead of a landhome. He has said it was pretty cool. They would just take their home wherever and they spent a lot of time around Catalina Island. They would catch fish during the day and would be eating it that night.

Was interesting to see all the houseboats along the river. I thought this one was the most beautiful and...

...this one was the most unusual. I called it the potato bug home. Steve called it the airstream home. I'm sure I could find an article on it.
