     This house barge (which, sadly, no longer exists - as its owner decided to have it demolished, rather than brought back home, probably in pieces) had the longest journey of the five vessels - one house boat and four house barges - taken for a joyride by that bitch of a storm Sandy, just over seven weeks ago.

      Kevin built this two room floating home by himself, 22 years ago, and is really missing his former lifestyle. Combined with the sinkings of two other house barges, and one house boat conversion, we've lost four - and possibly a fifth, also - of the thirteen boats and barges that populated this once idyllic marine setting.

     Kevin's home, which was normally berthed about 150 feet southeast of the red bullseye (as illustrated on the Google Map below) ended up in the front yard of 3639 Marinor Street, a journey of about 700 feet - although it probably took a shortcut through two chain link fences.
