It's a damned expensive hotel... I'm spending the night!
Once we tied up, I thought it would be nice to spend the night at the dock. We had the full canvas on so at least I could keep the rain out. It was going be a cold, windy night and I was about to find out if the systems all worked correctly.
I had planned ahead and bought a sleeping bag as there wasn't any bedding on the boat yet. I bought a sub and cookies onboard for dinner and I was set. The shore power was already attached so I cranked up the heat to see if I could warm up the cabin on this 400F night. So far, so good.
The night went well. The bed was comfortable and the cabin quiet. The heat worked like a champ, at 2 am I had to get up and turn the thermostat down before it ran me out! All in all it was very pleasant. I'm looking forward to many more quiet nights onboard!
