Notes on Sleeping on a Small Boat

Someone inquired about the sleeping arrangements on the boat, because I was not clear in my post.

We have four berths on the boat - in theory two forward in the vee, and two in the main cabin. In the main cabin, we have Dave on one side of the boat and me on the other. Due to the size of the bunks, I get the starboard side. This leaves the port side bunk for Dave.

My mother takes the port side of the vee by personal preference. The other side of the vee gets
filled up with things like the sea-anchor, extra line, our bags after we stow our gear, and other such items. Experience has taught us that putting two people in the vee is one person too many.

This combination of factors puts two people on the port side of the boat, one to starboard.

We have a sketch of the boat layout and dimensions. We just have to get it posted. If this were a little cabin on land, my mother would have the bedroom, while Dave and I sleep on the couches in the living room.

OK, all caught up. Sorry about the silence.

As before, really enjoying the blog, keep up the good work. Looking forward to tall tails of high jinx on the high seas.

Rugrat growing like a weed on this end. A cute and cuddly weed! Soon she will out of the 3-6 mos clothes and into the 6-9 mos.

Peadia Dermatologist says the birthmark is improving, contrary to published papers on her particular kind. This is good. He also says if he were not so averse to poking unecessary holes in small children he'd want to do a biopsy so he could make this a reported case of her very rare kind of angioma being ever rarer and getting better by itself.

PS David you made me laugh outloud with the Dusting Compound! Must tell Chan so he can use your method next time he stains, I mean dusts the deck out front.
