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.

small child cleaning boat
I am a child who is an expert on boats. I am trusted to know what I am doing. My father has punished me for not doing things right.
Good morning Sir, are ye here for a boat? I am, indeed. I see ye've only got one boat to spare. I need to take it out and get some fish to feed my grandchildren. We've a few more, but this is the best for one person fishing Sir. Begging ye pardon SIr but are ye strong enough t' row boat? Ye look mighty old to me. I may be old, 'tis true, but I'm strong and can handle most any boat. This little dinghy is nothing! No offence Sir please, I mean none, me Da will get angry with me if ye be upset. Now now, don't ye cry. I won't be saying a word. And ye did a good job cleaning this boat for me! Say- are there many fish in these waters? Thank ye kind Sir, well with the right bait, you'll be feasting like His Majesty himself for days.... I have a secret bait we use here I make... let me get you some. Secret bait, eh? Sounds like a good idea! I do love fishing the king's river. He be none the wiser, and my family be eating well. Well if ye would like to get in Sir, I can find ye some and push ye out of the boathouse. It;s light enough and Da has shown me some tricks. I'm ready, my little friend. The sooner I get on the open water, the sooner me family eats. Sir do you have many Grandkinder? Catch the rope, You need it to tie up when ye come in I do, indeed - they are the reason I set out and fish. I must be keeping their bellies full.
