Changing gears

I have often wondered how Bill would do full timing on a boat.

He is a man of movement and is always doing some chore or another. At home he does laundry, cleans, mows the lawn, and somehow always finds something to keep himself preoccupied.

It really is no different on the boat. There is ALWAYS something to tinker with. No sooner had we dropped anchor was he in the water cleaning the hull. He ended up doing 3/4 of it and I finished the rest.

The interesting thing is, even though he is a man of motion, he can break his stride in a heartbeat and slip right into the laid back life on a boat.

Me? It takes a bit longer to shrug off the everyday stresses and get acclimated to life without distractions. I have to ease into it.

Jumping in the water and cleaning the hull refocused me and when I came out of the water, I believe I had left the distractions behind.
