In a moment of
vision, somewhere between insight and insanity, we purchased an aging 65'
wooden Louisiana shrimp boat, with the intent of rebuilding it and living
aboard. For the first two years of the project, the general consensus

year, as the project neared completion, our insanity edged towards insight
and finally stayed there. Below is a photographic chronicle of the
Walton project. Judge for yourself.....
