Living on a comfy boat in a cozy marina has its rewards. Often, sadly, the neighbor's dog is not one of them, just the opposite. However, the marina in this story is a bit of an odd duck, and its B Row is the sort of place where the unexpected is taken for granted. In other words, the liveaboards call it home. As for their problematic dogs, well, they would do well to treat it with the utmost respect. No peeing on the hose bibs!

I have several B Row adventures in the pipeline. They are stories about boating and boaters, often with a paranormal twist, set in a solidly run marina located a fair distance south of the Tacoma Narrows bridge. This part of the Sound lacks the flash and dash of places farther north. It's quieter, with a variety of places to tuck in for the night or the weekend or the week. Ah, heaven!

So read on, O fearless reader.
