Hi JJ, Thanks for writing. It has been a great experience living on the boat.
It is weird to live in such small space for long periods of time, but it is
also great in other ways. I do not have to worry about many things. Someone
prepares the food for us and I do not have to shovel snow or mow the lawn.
I do miss being able to run and play soccer.
I have not gotten seasick because I take a pill when the seas get too
rough, like now. It can be uncomfortable to sleep when I am getting tossed
around, but normally that is not the case. I wish my body were not that
sensitive to the motions.
Thanks for writing,
Juan.
