The Glamorous Life of a Cruiser

While sitting on the hook in Port Royal Sound (Cowan Creek) waiting for the weather to break we were reflecting on the glamorous life some of you think we’re living. Consider this:

We’ve been freezing our butts off since we have no heat other than the stove. It’s way too cold for a shower.

By the time we got to St. Mary’s we had been in the same clothes for five days. It was also the same about time since our last shower.

While anchored I spent one day without getting out of bed and read a book from cover to cover. The only time on deck during the whole stay was to take Goliath out to potty.

At times the boredom is overwhelming. Nothing but sea as far as we can see. There are no other boats and very little radio traffic.

It can be depressing to realize that it took you thirty hours to cover 150 miles.

Just some random thoughts. We’re back among humanity, our cruising friends, and it all seems worth it again.
