Re: My Journey towards full time liveaboard.

Hey, thanks for checking in. We are doing awesome! There is a toxic culture of communication on the internet, and especially on this site. While I know that is the norm, I am not wired to react well...

Re: My Journey towards full time liveaboard.

I survived holy week! It was an adventure, but all is well that ends well. Not sure what the story is with my Instructor, I will get my official lessons when I can. In the mean time, I have put the...

Re: My Journey towards full time liveaboard.

It's Easter weekend, which is a big celebration here in Mexico. On top of that, my rigger lost his phone, so realistically it will be next week before I have the standing rigging tuned and start...

Cool! Thank you. I deleted Facebook from this phone, but I'll check it out on my computer tomorrow!

Re: My Journey towards full time liveaboard.

I am guessing this is what you were alluding to... I was paddling past a new neighbor on my commute home from work today. They have a dingy slung up on the side of the boat right about where my kayak...

Re: My Journey towards full time liveaboard.

Dear mosquitoes

I have so much blood, probably too much. You are as welcome to as much as you can carry. In return, all I ask is that you stop buzzing my ear, and maybe stop the itching.

Re: My Journey towards full time liveaboard.

There are definitely wires clanging in the mast during that rocking motion, but they are polite enough to clang quietly. I can only hear them if I really focus on it. Until the other noise drowns...

Re: My Journey towards full time liveaboard.

I mean, sound is tricky, it's quite possible that it is not coming from where my ears tell me it is. That being said, it's almost imperceptible outside, and reverberates in the head, which is like 3'...

Re: My Journey towards full time liveaboard.

ahh, today was the first time I left the boat without my condo keys. Luckily, I have built an half hour into my commute in order to compensate for things like that. Was a good workout to speed paddle...

Re: My Journey towards full time liveaboard.

That was a fascinating read, thank you!

Thing is, this noise only happens when there is no wind. It is caused by the boat rocking on waves beam to beam. It sounds like a metal connection slipping...

Re: My Journey towards full time liveaboard.

That is the thing. I don't think this is normal, so it keeps me up when it is happening. The rest of the various noises just fade into the background

Re: My Journey towards full time liveaboard.

If anyone is curious about the noise that's been keeping me up at night for 3 days, I took a little 10 second video. I'll try to upload or link.

Re: My Journey towards full time liveaboard.

We are allowed to rent the condo out, but not partially. In other words, I couldn't have a roommate or charge visitors rent. If I wasn't on the board, I'd figure out workarounds. I may just put out a...

Re: My Journey towards full time liveaboard.

My boat has developed a fun new noise (or I am newly experiencing the conditions that cause it). The conditions are very specific:

There has to be no wind, on a relatively calm night. Whatever...

Re: My Journey towards full time liveaboard.

Did I say breezy earlier? I almost could not paddle hard enough to get to the boat. Eaves were breaking over the bow of the kayak. Despite the wandering boat attached to it, the anchor seems to have...

Re: My Journey towards full time liveaboard.

I'm sitting in my condo eating lunch, looking out at the Bahia anchorage. It's a fairly breezy day. All the boats are lined up pointing in one direction... Except mine. She's like "ooooh, what's...

Re: My Journey towards full time liveaboard.

I went sailing for the first time in my life yesterday!

I will be 45 in less than a month, and have never been under sail before. Seems kind of crazy to write out, especially considering I went...

Re: My Journey towards full time liveaboard.

Realistically, this kayak situation is not sustainable long term for the daily back and forth commuting I am doing. I just needed to experience it to get a baseline. I was researching other options...

Re: My Journey towards full time liveaboard.

It will be a while before I am working full time in the boat. I know I can do it because I worked full time in a solar powered RV for years. It's just more logistics than I can handle right now. I...
