Default Re: Awlgrip

I've not done a "live aboard", but would like to try it. Particularly the sailing variety- about 45- 55'. Friends who have said the first week is great. After that there are no dry towels or dry anything else. They also siad that while everything you must have is there, there just isn't much of it. Probably a good summary.

One friend who has single handed a 38' Shannon across the Atlantic 4 times or more now said the toughest thing is fresh water and sleep. He was a Airborne in the service and used their trick of sleeping for 20 min. and awake for 40 min. around the clock. He figured that his 24 mi. radar gave him enough "all clear" information for about the next 20 minutes.
