Rain gear, music, binoculars + gimlets = Memories. The Coasters playing Down in Mexico and April March playing Chick Habit.

Holed up during a rainstorm. Blasting Far Away Eyes by the Rolling Stones. Come hang on our boat Mick Jagger.

I sleep with my iPhone and my flashlight on my pillow.

Living on the hook (anchored out) leaves only so many options for power. It certainly makes you more aware of the power you use and makes you pay attention/appreciate what items draw however many watts/ amps. On the hook, we mostly live off of our 12 volt batteries. The solar charger and the diesel charge them. We charge our phones during the day and run a small fan at night. Haven’t hooked up the window unit yet! Returned our toaster oven as it drew too much power to run on the hook. Cooking consists of propane and a small 800 watt electric hot plate. I keep a flashlight (a mini Mag LED…thanks Mom!) near me at night as this is my main light source. Rechargeable batteries inside, of course.
Dinghy ride to Four Freedoms park for a free showing of Bolt. Got rained out. Conch Fritter time!

A view of our pantry. Ideal items only need water, seasoning and one pot.

Cooking on the boat is a challenge. Space is limited. Gravity makes things harder. Imagine trying to make chili stirring with one hand and hanging on to the hand rail with the other at a 45 degree angle. It’s good to keep items aboard that are ready to eat and provide some nutritional value for those times when cooking is not a possibility. Granolas, peanut butter, crackers, and such is good.
