Don't you get bored, just sitting around on a sailboat everyday???

touch ups

 It's those that have never had the opportunity to enjoy life aboard, that often ask that question.

Those that have never dinghy'd 2 miles thru the waves , so they can tie up, hike another 1/2 mile to the grocery store, lug it all back to the dinghy, dinghy back 2 miles, carry it up a six ft ladder, across the deck, down  a 5 step ladder and wash, bag and stow it all.  It's a whole day, well spent if you don't want to starve.

Laundry day is a similar routine, that gives you the pleasure of spending hours in a sweltering Laundromat that charges $7.00 in a slow washer and close to that for a drier.  Boating..... I love it!

Here's a pictorial sneak peak into life aboard a cruisers sailboat.

munching on the beach

watching the neighbours anchor and tie up the sails



getting places

rainbows almost everyday



beach bumming

getting coral out of places it should never be

scrubbing off at the end of the day

hanging overboard

happy hour at the dinghy dock pub



heading snorkelling

up the channel

meeting interesting characters



$200 in groceries by dinghy
