There are a number of floating houses on this river.  They are really cute, but awfully small.  I think a larger one would be cool though.  I am posting some pictures  of a few.

First thing this morning we had our boat pulled so we could swap out our props.  Things went pretty well at first.  The props were swapped and the mechanic named Shane asked if we cared if he looked in our engine room because the port shaft seemed to have a little too much wiggle room.  Once he and John looked in the engine room, they found that the same bolt that had broken off when we were on the Hudson River, broke off again.  It took another hour and a half to fix it.  Shane said he thinks it happened because the prop was bent and the vibrations caused the bolt to break.  I hope it is permanently fixed.  I am also posting a picture of the starboard prop.
