... and I have a note to myself to give them a call (after hours of course) and thank them for being so hospitable and for showing me the FABULOUS junk! ... and I'll let Ruthie explain THAT one.

Well my 2nd big brother & his wife live aboard an authentic chinese junk, built in Kowloon in 1980 (according to the brass plate imbedded in the teak wood). 40 ft long and extremely cosy. It's a very cool, funky boat. Distinctive is a good word to describe their home. They've been live-aboards for over 3 years - and their marriage is still healthy while living in such a small space. I doubt they'll ever be landowners again. It's always a fun time on the 'Moondragon'
