A day in Marathon

Up by 6:30-7am when the sun comes up.  Check on the lines (holding the boat to the dock), batteries, cleaning up if it rained at night, weather and tide check, kids get up; breakfast; 9am cruisers' net on the VHF radio; boatschool; repairs and errands; lunch; finish some boatschool & boat work; then we head off to the City Marina to join all the other kids by 3 or 4pm....

Back around 6-6:30; cooking dinner with the boys help; we put on a movie - lately Hatari! with John Wayne -- or the boys go to the marina's Captain's Lounge to watch a sport game on TV.  Blog update; boat accessories/parts research on the internet; home/business affairs; and by 10-10:30 pm we'll call it a day.





Most long-timers liveaboard kids always walk around barefoot.
