A possible new residence in Vietnam?


My boat still isn't sold. I wonder if I could get a part exchange deal on one of these character vessels spotted on the Meekong delta last summer.

This model comes complete with open air living on the stern and compact living accommodation for the whole family. There is a roof garden, and large sun deck for non-monsoon days. Solidly built out of teak, and blue polypropylene tarpaulin and powered by a reconditioned jeep engine, this is the 'must have' vessel for the intrepid traveller who wants to blend with their environment.

The bow is painted in the traditional fashion with two brightly coloured eyes to ward off evil sea spirits. I don't have any details on the plumbing or bathroom facilities but the washing hanging out to dry might be an indication of a laundry room aboard.
