Bay Area homeowners (like these in Belvedere) have to worry about three unavoidable hazards--earthquakes, wildfires, and sea-level rise. (Look at those homes in the lower left.) Houseboat (and tugboat) owners are safe from all three. https://t.co/wUrkoOYKLT 1.8K views · 25 likes · 3 reposts · 1 replies 02 Sep 2026 Since Mirene's pilot house is now a bedroom, driving the boat is done from the fly bridge we added. It has the best views in the Bay Area. (That's me on the top of the world, having just berthed a 75-ton vessel gracefully.) https://t.co/KPn3figV4F 1.5K views · 19 likes · 2 reposts · 1 replies 01 Sep 2026 I should add that Mirene comes with a superbly skilled (and licensed) skipper who will teach the new owner how to drive a tugboat. He also oversees any maintenance work. His name is Aaron Swerkes (that's young me, not him, in the photo.) https://t.co/joDRvCfF0u 780 views · 12 likes · 2 reposts · 0 replies 01 Sep 2026 @stewartbrand No WAY! 36 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies 01 Sep 2026 @stewartbrand Stewart, would probably be worth institutionalizing Mirene as a local museum / foundation / incubator. A space where people can visit and maybe even work on long-duration projects.

Maybe you know someone in San Francisco who wants to own an inexpensive, aesthetically delightful home, likes to party, and would invite you over. https://t.co/H9aCklPCy3 2.3K views · 21 likes · 2 reposts · 2 replies 31 Aug 2026 Apologies. THIS is the September 25-27 Sausalito Boat Show link: https://t.co/wEAZ1dwgGP 2.1K views · 4 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies 31 Aug 2026 Mirene's salon/library, with French doors onto the back deck, where you can see San Francisco--40 minutes away by boat, 15 minutes by car. It's the optimum home for someone who works in the City. Sausalito is warm and sunny all summer long. https://t.co/VEDNFugeCt 2.5K views · 47 likes · 3 reposts · 2 replies 31 Aug 2026 Mirene at her houseboat berth next to the wide part of the South 40 Dock. You can see the ideal turning basin she backs into before turning right to cruise the Bay. You can see San Francisco from her berth.

The table is said to be where Otis Redding wrote "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" when he stayed on a houseboat nearby in August 1967. We got the table from that boat. https://t.co/MoQHEgnbbK 3.3K views · 74 likes · 4 reposts · 2 replies 31 Aug 2026 Price down, visitability up on the historic tugboat Mirene that I and wife Ryan customized into a perfect home. We lived and cruised on her for 40 years. Price is now $1 million WITH BERTH in the houseboat community. You can visit her at the Sausalito Boat Show Sep. 25-27. htt 81K views · 340 likes · 27 reposts · 26 replies 31 Aug 2026
