Life on the Catamaran

We quickly got into a bit of a routine on the boat. The sun was up a 6 am so we quickly followed suit. Breakfast was bacon/eggs, toast or pancakes. We dranks lots of coffee and Karen had a kwells (motion sickness pill) first thing. The ocean swells only churned up Karen's stomach when she tried to read. We watched a couple of movies on the television on the boat. We were in bed no later than 10 pm. It was dark by 6:30 pm each night.

It was always warm. Karen and I never wore a sweater or coat. It was always in the midtwenties celcius even when it rained.

We had to anchor by 4 pm each day, then it was Happy Hour.

We sailed every day. We did have two diesel engines so we could motor when needed. They came in handy several times.

A typical breakfast with some "Canadian" maple syrup packaged in Australia.

Jules and Glen cooking breakfast.

Karen working on supper.

Jules on the radio. We had to check in twice a day to give Cumberland our location and plans.

Our sleeping quarters. We had a port hole right above us. Lots of room, yet cozy.
