Definitely had a lot of character. Hipster meets old salt meets a 1970s guy in a wife-beater (referring here mainly to the coffee mugs with boobs on them). I do wish I'd read the details more clearly though -- but I didn't , so I was surprised by the lack of bathroom/shower on board or running water, but it is just a short walk to the common facilities for the marina, which were nice. Also I had some trouble making up the bed in the main area, so I'd ask ingrid to demonstrate; the safe didn't work (though i didn't seem to really need it as the marina felt secure); and I had trouble with the wi-fi. The boat was funky -- in a good way, with some cool decorations and things -- but a bit cluttered. Next time, I would hope for some sort of guide to the neighborhood, with information on transportation, including car service numbers; beach access; restaurant names and locations. they were doing construction on the beach near the marina so it didn't seem as if you could enter there, so that was a drag. All that said, it was fun to stay in the rockaways, and sitting on the boat's top deck in the evening was really quiet and beautiful, especially with the nice breeze. And it was overall a cool boat -- with neat groovy stuff in it.
