Boat trip
Day 3
So yeah, I'm in a boat. Docked in the biggest city on our trip at the moment, Athlone. It's on the train route to Galway, so this should be my fifty somethingth time here. So far it's been good. I'm usually feeling alright, but I occasionally get hit by a wave of missing people from Dublin. I'm aware of the oddness, since I only saw them a couple times before I left. It usually goes away when I make myself aware that it's probably just me feeling something needs to be wrong when my life is lacking anything bad right now. Excluding the removing my sister's ability to walk for the rest of the summer, of course...
The boat's got all the amenities we need really, but when I'm not on my DS I'm usually spending more time climbing through portholes and slidey doors between the cabin and the deck. The idea of going up/down a floor without using stairs or a lift while on a moving vehicle just amuses the hell out of me. Another really fun thing is manning the ropes. Which is a phrase I probably made up that means lots of jumping across gaping water chasms between the boat and a dock while holding a rope, and tugging the boat into place, then tying it down. It's double fun when going through locks. Navigating... I'll try that tomorrows.
That's pretty much all the boating news I have, and since it's 2am, I'm trying to sleep (so unlike me). Giev infos on how you people are doing, and harass me if you see me online, as I'll usually just be msning. Or downloading. If you harass me when I'm downloading, I'll hate you.
Loves!
