THE CUDDLE TUB: Isla Vista, adjoining the UCSB campus, has a tract called El Nido (The Nest) where there is a grove of tall Island pines. In one of them is a gigantic crow's nest which is actually a house, where lives a boat-builder. At the foot of the tree is a fence corner and another kind of nest—a water nest. It is Richard Peterson's cuddle tub, barely 24 inches square and 27 inches high. Unbelievably, it holds two people—if they are compatible. It's a simple box made of two by tens, doweled, pegged, glued and then glassed with resin. A regular sink drain was installed in the bottom. Hot water is piped over from the water heater of a nearby home. "We even got a third nestled in here one night," Peterson said, "but don't ask me how."
