Daniel Pitman's is a love story, not much differ-
ent from those of many Houseboat readers. Born
and raised in Brentwood, Tenn., much of Pitman's
family time was spent boating at lakes surround-
ing his hometown. He enjoyed being out on the
water, but never felt compelled to buy a boat of
his own until about two years ago.
A friend of Pitman's took him and some others
out to Percy Priest Lake, just 10 miles outside of
Nashville, Tenn., for the July 4 weekend. One eve-
ning, he accepted an offer to watch the sun set
on the lake from the top of the houseboat, and,
in his words, "I fell in love."
