dining area. Moving from stern to bow, the lower level includes
the lazarette, the engine room, a laundry area (in a closet in the
hallway), and two guest staterooms. The forward stateroom has a
private bath and the aft stateroom can close off the day head in
order to create its own private bath.

to the lower level which is located on the port side just forward
of the dining area.

Facing
forward, there is a chart table on the starboard side of the console
and stairs which go forward to a guest stateroom on the port side.
Electronic equipment in the pilothouse includes two Furuno radars,
a Furuno depth sounder, etc etc. and a computer dedicated exclusively
to navigation. The single pilot seat was replaced by a double Stidd
pilot seat..

| To the aft in the pilothouse
is a curved settee with a pilot bunk above it. To the port side of
the settee is a navigation desk with a GPS, an ICOM single sideband
and the ship's main computer. Two laptop computers travel with the
owners and are networked to the ship's computer when onboard. This
desk is also the communications center with both an Iridium satellite
telephone and a NERA Sat B telephone. STARR has the ability to use
high speed data transmission utilizing the NERA telephone link. |

The master stateroom is located under the raised
pilothouse, just forward of the galley and is accessed by its own
stairway which insured the privacy of the owners.
Forward of the raised pilothouse is an additional stateroom which
was originally intended to be the crew quarters, but is now used
as a guest stateroom.
|
| The
double kayak, outrigger canoes, sailing/rowing dory and tender are
stored on the top deck. For longer passages the canoes are disassembled
and turned onto their bottoms; all boats are then covered with boat
covers and securely tied down. |
