We love Leverick for all the reasons above!
As for the showers, we used them last November. Didn't seem icky to me - however I didn't see an electrical outlet. Personally, by the time I lug all my stuff to the showers on shore, slip around in my flip flops in the shower, towel off by doing the "don't touch the ground" dance, I've realized that showering on the boat is so much easier. But that's just me. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />
