There are some things you forget or try not to remember about living on a boat. How most of your clothes are dampish. You need to pick up your feet when walking inside the boat because the doorways are not flush to the floor. Another is the boat is always moving slightly so you are aware of climbing onto and off the boat even at the dock. Halyards are tapping against the mast, lines are creaking, other boats are noisy and the waves make more noise than you think. These things become even more noticeable when the 25 to 30 mph winds are coming through the area and you are trying to sleep. The remains of Zeta passing through has reminded me of all this.
We did not get the rain but the wind has been active most of the night and into the morning. So it is 4:30am and the winds are supposed to be under 20 knots by noon, but it has been a long night. Yea that is another thing you forget about - the staying up and checking lines or anchors during windier conditions. Kris usually is the one that gets up and double/triple checks everything and I tend to sleep like a babe. Not this time, oh well the naps today will feel good.
Probably should not complain too much about it. As Kris is still at work, while I am here :)
Don't forget about things falling over all the time when there are waves :)
