LIVING ABOARD A BOAT IS RELAXING


To me there is nothing quite as relaxing as living on a boat.  It certainly puts you in touch with the rhythms of nature.  It is not the movement of the boat in the water as everyone might expect, (although that is nice) but just looking out your windows, or stepping out your door, and seeing the water and wildlife all around, that keeps you constantly in touch with and aware of mother nature.   

You also start to live with the rhythms of nature.  There is nothing much to do, in the marina, after dark.  (Unless your partying)  So, once it gets dark, we find ourselves retiring to the captain's quarters and watching a movie, or going to sleep early. 


And of course that early bedtime soon leads to an early awakening.  You end up going to bed with the sun and getting up with the sun.  There's nothing like sitting enjoying your morning Tea (or Coffee) and watching the sun come up.  Dan loves it. 





It's a good thing that the sun doesn't set too early all summer.  We do have lovely long evenings to enjoy. 



 
 
PEACEFUL, RESTFUL, RELAXING
