Photos of my new house

Here are some fotes of the M/Y Kaleen. This past weekend, the owners came on board and we cruised over to Nantucket. They are a nice family with four kids in their late twenties/early thirties. As a deckhand, it was my job to help with the luggage and wash all of the salt off of the boat. Since the owners don't want us running around washing the boat while they are on it, we just have a few odd jobs to do, like filling the freshwater tanks and uncovering the cushions in the morning. Other than that, we had most of the weekend to ourselves. We walked around the island, found some treasure and went out to the bars at night. Since the owners have a couple of houses on Nantucket, theydon't sleep on the boat. They just come aboard for Alex's meals, all of which were 6 or 7 courses of five star restaurant quality food. It is really impressive to watch him work in the kitchen.Picture of the tender


At night, we would go out into the downtown bar scene, which is almost completely covered in pastels and seersucker. It reminded us of a little Disneyland. One day, Alex and I spent a couple of hours walking around the town in search of a seersucker cape. No luck, but I think we will make one for a return trip and it will be a big hit. The best outfit was a pair of slacks or chinos(definitely too expensive to be called pants) that had a salmon pink right leg and a canary yellow left leg and was covered in embroidered whales. This is where Matt Bledsoe will go when he dies.
On Sunday, there was a party hosted by the dock master to thank his crew and all of the boats who were around all summer. Raw oysters, tons of appetizers and a few kegs of beer ( I highlyrecommend Whale Tail, I think its local NE beer). This went on until dark, which was about the time that a drunk guy fell backwards off of the 10ft. dock into the water. We rescued him swiftly. After, Mike and I went out to a music venue only to find that they was no live music. there was, however, a couple of cute girls from Poland and Russia. I will send out wedding invitations when I clear the dates with my parents. The cruise back tofairhaven was a bit choppy but otherwise uneventful. We are waiting to hear if we are going back this weekend. If not, I might try to make it down to NYC or maybe to the much closer Newport for a night out.
