a ship as opposed to living in a house on land.
Like the fact that we have five things on our
bedroom ceiling-a light, a sprinkler, two air
conditioning vents and a PA speaker. The
inside of our front door has a map of the ship
with an escape route bolted to it as well as
instructions on how to use a life jacket. We
had many stubbed toes before it became
automatic to step up and over whenever
we leave or enter a room. Our walls are
magnetic and our bed had wooden sides
Before sailing EVERYTHING needs to be tied, bungyed or
bluetacked down. You put your TV/DVD and microwave
on the floor, tie your fridge to the screws in the portholes,
bungy or tie your cupboard doors and blue tac down or put in
drawers all loose items. Even taking all precautions we still
managed to have groceries fall on top of us, the couch slide
across the floor several times (with us on it), the fridge door
burst open (someone forgot to bungy it shut) and the cordial
fly out like a guided missile. All in one day! Good times. You
can also judge the roll of the ship by how far the curtains swing
out! How many degrees is the photo below?
vents.They have also come in handy, of late, for catching
rouge mosquitos!
We are very lucky, some people have none! This
is the view from our lounge somewhere in the
Atlantic Ocean sailing between Durban and Cape
Town, South Africa. Water views everywhere-even
from the toilet if you leave the door open-lol!
Before we begin sailing all the watertight doors are closed.
For extra motivation, these lovely signs are posted on the
wall for our veiwing pleasure!
