The boathouse is a very small building with peeling paint. It is made out of wood, with one half planted in the water on stilts. Inside, there are boats floating in the water. There are hinged doors which can be opened to allow boats to come in and out. There are some ropes and other tools a boater may need stored in the boathouse.

I am an old man with a fishing rod who you might see, if you look carefully, fishing in the king's river. What I do is called poaching. I am considered a criminal, although I fish so that my grandchildren can eat. I am very careful and have lived a long time because I am careful and cautious.
What are you doing here, child? I am here to help clean the boat, sir! Ahh I see, well you missed a spot right there. Got it! I love boats, don't you? I've been working with boats all my life.  Ohh of course, lad, I am a fisherman after all! Are you going to take the boat out soon?  Yeah, just here to get my prep ready. Can I come with you? I always wanted to fish, but my father never lets me go with him.  Well, I don't know how happy your parents would be about that! They won't be any wiser as long as I'm back before dinner! They know I'm working at the boathouse. If that's the case, then you can come along, but we won't be going far! I don't wanna get too ambitious with you in the boat. Yay! I finally get to experience the sea!
