No problem. The trip was a blast. The 3 boats he has to rent have different interiors so make sure to look over the pics for the one you want. If there is high wind he doesn't want you to go into the larger lakes for obvious reasons, but the wind never pushed us much. We even got stuck in a storm and never had a worry.
We didn't cook. Instead we chose to bring snacks in the cooler and stop at the various eateries up and down the river. Swamp House is a definite stop. Good food, good drinks, and the basin it sits in is a pretty cool setup.
When traveling up and down the river you literally just find a hole or side canal, drop anchor and go to sleep at night. They give you a 12v fan which was good enough for us at night. Make sure you go when it's cooling off. The river is pretty, lots of wildlife and old growth.
Just remember these are antique boats from the 70's, and pretty basic. Ours was clean, but a little rough around the edges. Plenty good enough for the weekend. It was a pretty unique experience cruising around in it. We had plenty of airflow with the windows and door open, and with the screens and such we never worried about bugs, sun, or rain. We never even put on sunblock.
There are a few places to hit up, but the best we hit by far is Blue Spring. There are tons of fish and manatees in the spring, and its a really nice park. You are allowed to beach the houseboat there. There's a small area to the south that you just pull up to, tie off to a tree, and walk around the park. There is ropes and floats blocking the water entrance to the spring, but you can motor right up to them and drop anchor. Then sit there and drink while the manatees circle your boat.
