Sometimes Liveaboard Live is not so easy. Today is one of those days.
I am in Seward Alaska chuckling at my misfortune.
I returned to the boat last night after having a great Thanksgiving with my son and his family. It is 13F outside, and the wind is blowing with 40 mph gusts.
That cold wind sucks all the heat out of my uninsulated boat. I have all three furnaces going, as well as the generator and the built in electric heaters in the Master and the Salon. With all these going I can keep the inside temps in the mid to high 60's. Without the electric the boat would be in the high 40's to low 50's right now.
If I wern't already traveling in December I would be on Alaska Airlines site looking for a cheap ticket to someplace warm. Actually I might just do that anyway, we'll see how my morning goes.
I'm not complaining mind you, just pointing out that Liveaboard life is not all sunshine and sand between your toes.
At least not this winter. Next winter is another story. Next winter I will either be on the Baja or will have died trying.
