I've been trying to think of some decorative covering ( a tropical shower 
curtain, perhaps?  optical illusion!) for the three 12-15 ft boats hanging on 
the patio wall.

He has two types).  

This week I put the three 9-footers on the ground in the patio.  So guests 
will now have a view of 6 boats from the dining room.  And then there's still 
one on the rear deck.  :)

My nephew (3 kids) moved to a lakefront house.  I'm thinking (if I can work 
up the courage to part with them) of offering him two of the smaller ones on 
an indefinite loan basis.
