Boom-boom goes the sound of freedom
Everything takes a bit longer on a rocking boat. By 9AM I
realized that I needed to EAT! My stomach and body were both screaming.
Normally I am inherently lazy in food prep, but today I wanted good food so I
took 3 eggs, scallion greens, ham and spices and mixed them all up. I fried it
in oil because calories are not my current problem. Anyway making all this was
in half speed, and after I had eaten doing the dishes...
Whoa! I was just
severely frightened! I just heard two booms, very loud like a bomb going off.
Right afterward I heard the noise of a fighter jet. I didn’t see them, but my
blood is pumping! That’s the sound of freedom I suppose, and out here in the
Gulf they’re allowed to go supersonic.
Anyway, the dishes are interesting. First I have all the dirty dishes in the left
sink. I wash them with saltwater and Joy and move them to the right sink. Then
I use my pesticide sprayer to gently wash them off, only using 1 tbsp of water
on each dish, and then I put them on the dryer rack over the left sink. This
took about 4x as long as usual.
Now that I’ve eaten and cleaned up, there’s not much I want
to do other than to take another nap. This constant motion. Boom-Boom! There they go again. This motion
is quite tiring, but at least the boat stays on an even heel, not much more
than 15 degrees while I’m still making better than 10 kts. The boat is happy
and so am I.
