Dear Mogford,

1. I understand your `problem' faced trying to apply Feng Shui to your boat house.

2. A boat house is quite `similar' to a small apartment and dormitory.

3. Applying Feng Shui to your boat house is indeed very difficult and because of space constraints or the uniqueness of the layout, there is not much `enhancements' one can do other than:

3.1 To make the house boat as `cosy' or comfortable to the individual.

3.2 Application of Shapes and Forms is more crucial i.e. `parking' the boat in a secured and sheltered environment.

Here, it is like houses which is on a barren land and subject to strong force of wind blowing.

It is such unprotected situations e.g. storms and strong gale or force of wind that can result in `sha' qi.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
