Life on board, laundry, ice, and men!

2/16/2016

Life is different on board.
Not just because we live on a moving vehicle that is like a mini village. We produce (catch) our own water, we have electricity via the solar panels and we can change neighbours anytime we please.
Day to day life is different too.

Hanging out our laundry was an interesting exercise this morning.
The camber of the deck and the thin layer of ice frosting meant our toes uselessly tried to grip the topsides of the boat.

'Take a picture, that doesn't happen very often!' A passerby called out as Noel hung out our washing.
I didn't know if she meant the frosted decks or that a man was hanging out laundry!
'I don't know why everyone is so amused when I hang out the washing!' Noel said.

What day to day differences do you notice in your travelling life?

Well for me, I don't travel as much as you, but it's the changing tides. When I go to work in the morning, I have to calculate where the tide will be. Sometimes on frosty mornings, it is quite hazardous if we have a very low tide. The deck is slippery and the gangplank is like Mount Everest. Climbing up to the shore with a heavy bag of books can be interesting!

PS Love the photos, Jackie! I finished This is It last night. Really enjoyed it! I hope Amazon will accept my review, but as you know, they are being tricky at the moment. I'll keep you posted!

Most people wouldn't realise half the challenges we have on boats day to day - Yours is super interesting! and Precarious! So pleased you love the photos and you enjoyed This Is It - I read about your reviews, I just can't understand it - as authors it is part of our job (and a part we love) to chat to people on social media about our books, then they penalise us for doing so! Bizarre.
