It must be that I am anxious for the warmer weather to hurry up and appear that has me daydreaming of white sand beaches, crystal clear water, hot, humid days, and nights that provide warm breezes. All these things remind me of the Bahamas and the easy laid back life that we had than......sorta of like now without the white sand beaches, hot humid days.........
Cruising as a lifestyle full time is not all fun in the sun. Just before Mike and I left to venture south, I recall a friend saying with a hint of envy, “Just think of all the time you'll have to read and suntan and swim and party and eat out.” I was thinking along those same lines myself, after all Mike did promise to take me to paradise.
You know what...they clean toilets in paradise. They also cook, clean, do laundry, do dishes plus change engine oil, scrub the deck and dive under the boat to remove barnacles. Life goes on just as before, it's just now your are doing it from a home that floats.
If I were to talk to another woman, who's hubby, partner or significant other was trying to convince her to take to a life on the high seas I would be straight with her. It'll be much harder than you ever thought.
Jump into the car and run to the store for that one must have item for your famous signature dish, won't happen. Open the double door fridge with bottom freezer unit, won't happen. Throw a load of clothes into the washer (hahahahahaha) won't happen. Light some scented candles around the whirlpool jet soaker tub... you got it, won't happen.
On the other hand, so what you don't have that one spice to put on the fish, you just speared 15 minutes ago and is not grilling on the barbie. Hey, your tiny little freezer box makes ice cubes and really that's all that matters. How hard is it to hand wash your bathing suit and and soaker tubs were invented to relieve the stresses of your busy life. You have no stress!!!! Jump in the 80 degree water with a “noodle” and gin and tonic. Honey, your in Paradise!
