Lunch and bathroom cleaning

Lunch today! Well, yesterday since I had this all prepared and couldn't get on the internet. Oh, it's so sweet to have a chef on board. All the meals (minus breakfast) come pretty and plated. And with loads of veggies and other healthy stuff. Hooray.

Hello purple toes! Well, I had two purple toes. They went nicely with my big knee bruise, but they've faded beyond any photographing opportunity. All of these great war wounds have been collected as I continue to fall down (and up! that was the worst!) staircases, and kick everything in sight. (You go barefoot on boats.) I've even had some close calls with being nearly successful in ripping off toes. Apparently, these sort of self-inflicted wounds are common and something that you never really become immune to. Yesterday the deckhand fractured his hand....


As part of getting the boat put back together, I've spent a great deal of time detailing heads (bathrooms). (Note: Out of respect for privacy, this isn't a picture of my boat nor is it even my picture, but I'm using it to give you an idea.) It's something I was moderately hesitant about initially, but really it's not so bad when the bathrooms look like this. I now know every surface, crack, crevice and ledge rather intimately. To help pass the time, I ran out and bought an ipod. Can't believe this is the first time I've owned one, aside from the Shuffle I received for Christmas. But I needed something that held as much of my music collection as possible. Repeating the endless loop of workout tunes got old really fast.

I've only been posting on the nights I'm stuck on the boat for watch duty. Seems like every other day I can't wait to run off the boat once I'm done for the day and hang out with people that aren't on board. I figure I'll have plenty of time to hang out here on the boat in the future.
