Argo Revisited

After Kismet left this morning I was better able to get an additional shot of Argo. From this angle you can see the dinghy which rests in a cradle on top of the master stateroom ( Ron's bedroom and bathroom ). The middle section is raised about 3 steps and is the main living area or salon. There are twin doors, one on each side, which provide a wonderful breeze especially during the evening and night time hours. For now we sleep with both doors open. No AC needed. YET. Above the salon is the flybridge where we mainly stay when we are cruising. It also makes a very nice place to set up our lounge chairs for reading or in my case, watching what is going on in the marina.
The forward area, in the two shots from yesterday, is the bow. The v-berth, which is my room, is there as well as a second head, ( bathroom ) and the galley ( kitchen).
The windows are covered as much as possible to keep the heat out and keep the interior from fading, cracking, etc. from the destructive power of the sun's rays. A blue awning called a bimini covers the flybridge giving us shade and helping to keep the temperatures down in the boat as well.
