Our wanagan

This is our boat, known as a "wanagan", which Blacky built.  We absolutely love it.  It has all the comforts of home and we slowly cruise the lake we have it on.  This is a shot from Mad Rock in Eagle Lake at Eagle Lake, Maine.  We enjoy fishing and just cruising around, visiting with fellow boaters, etc.. This was last year (2010) and we were docked at the Old Mill Marina owned by Nathan Theriault.  We thoroughly enjoyed our excursions there including the Eagle Lake Sporting Camps which were built in the early 1920's by a Michaud.  Many Eagle Lake locals call them the "Michaud Camps" however, I do not because others may think I am talking about the Michaud Camps in the Allagash.  There is another Eagle Lake and that also is located in the Allagash.  Confused, yet?
It was the first time I was able to leave my home and go anywhere for the day and was a tremendous breakthrough for me, personally.
We have a Franklin Fireplace in the cabin for heat when needed and also use it to barbecue, which is quite safe on open water.  Our safety lights on the boat were made from original old kerosene lanterns, painted black, except on the front portion of glass which is red on one and amber on the other.  These are required by State law for running at night.
We have not stayed overnight, as yet, because of my oxygen requirement.  Blacky is working on that.  We do have battery operated electricity on board, but do not know if it is enough for my oxygen also.  I am very sure, he will come up with something that is safe for us to use.
Last year we had guests from Maryland, Canada and Maine take a day cruise with us.  It was enjoyable for me when I did go.  The larger parties were done by Anthony and Blacky or just Blacky.  Note:  this is not a business.  We do this just for the enjoyment of showing them our boat and the lake.
That's it for now.  May the Lord Bless and keep you!
