Ole LBB is out boon-docking & jet boating again..

at beautiful little Beaufort & Ladys Island SC last night, today & tomorrow since last week it was boating over to HHI from Tybee Island Ga for a nice seafood lunch, a swim & back against the sound & ocean currents.
Slept free in parking lot of a church last night (7th time in 3 years & should make a donation!).
Oh, notice the license tag: PAW-FAN
Today it's a full breakfast at Blackstones (omelette, Waffle, hash browns, biscuit, coffee, oj)..
and waddle back to boat landing I'm at now to put in so to ride around town, down towards Marine Training base, maybe lunch at bar at The Seafood House at Port Royal (Seafood gumbo, Blue moon & Key-Line pie slice). Burp!
Then maybe a long haul South on the ICW, across wide & sometimes dangerous Port Royal Sound due to sudden ocean currents & winds to northern tip of Hilton Head Island again as last week so to swim..weather permitting.
You see, being 81 doesn't mean the nursing home!
LOL & Go TiGERS!
PS: I light my little 17' Camper Van versus my 20' one and my 37' 5th Wheel I now use as an office & get-away cabin in the backyard.
This short GMC 17' Coachmen SavannaG2500 has 5.7L V-8 (just 10-11 mpg; geez!) but pulls 8500 lb load easily. Has sleeper sofa, regular flushing potti with black-water holding tank, running water, sink, fridge filled with goodies, tv, rotating table top on fixed wall swivel base, hanging clothes rack over potty area, front driving & passenger sitting chairs that swivel (took 2 back chairs out for needed room), 12V electric fan (ceiling A/C needs 120V), 2 free standing storage cabinets with 11 drawers for clothing/food/tools, plus upper built-in solid oak wall cabinets.
The black cover on back hides 2 large storage bins stacked and contain a Gen, air compressor pump, folding chairs, rug, spare parts, broom, vacuum, shovel, etc.
The empty high bar rack frame shown on back over boat hitch area carries 2 Kayaks vertically..while front has a Bike rack for 2.
Saying, a Vagabond needs minimum stuff in minimum space. Ha..

You need to re-read his post:

Has sleeper sofa, regular flushing potti with black-water holding tank, running water, sink, fridge filled with goodies, tv, rotating table on swivel base, 3 sitting chairs, 12V electric fan (ceiling A/C needs 120V), 2 free standing storage cabinets with 11 drawers for clothing/food/tools, plus upper built-in solid oak wall cabinets.

you can fit all that in the van?
How big is that black water tank? How easy is it to find a place to dump the tank?

Love those unsinkable Whalers. Spent a lot of time in the intercoastal on those growing up.
