It's been hard work as well, but the fun side of it is just beginning (thankfully!). Definitely stay in touch; it's great to hear from you. :) I actually have a photography question that you might be able to help me with. If I can find the time tonight, I'll send you a message.

Your adventures sound so fun and memorable... Really inspires me to take even more trips! Good luck with all of the sailing and new destinations. I think this life you lead is really awesome and unique, between the art and the house boat and the sailing, etc. I'm looking forward to reading more! :) Hi Lara!

Supposedly built in the shape of a pilot house, it was constructed in the 1890's by Capt. William Yates Stevens who ran the Mary Draper Steamboat. This is the house I grew up in. Steamboat Landing Road was the center of commerce for the island at one time boasting four stores and a blacksmith shop. The small brick teahouse you saw from the river was built by DD Dodge so he could take his afternoon tea down by the river. Behind it stands the old gin house (originally a cotton gin). The big house, home of William Seabrook the most prosperous planter on the island is farther to the left facing land and you probably did not see it. This is the home where the Marquis de Lafayette visited after the revolutionary war. Glad you enjoyed your peaceful time in Steamboat creek.
