trip is a work of art and easily holds its own for minuteness of detail with those masterpiece 

 specifications of our local shipbuilders and engineers, and then it is that one begins to

 string, paper, kerosene oil, fire wood, matches and of course the inevitable mop. However 

 these are only the dark shadings which throw the countless pleasures of a houseboat outing 

 into such charming and satisfying relief.
