We spent our first night aboard last night and survived!
We bought a comforter and other household needs (wastebaskets, dishwashing soap, etc.) yesterday afternoon in town. Later we attended a family event of the boatyard owners (a grand nephew's one-month birthday) at a restaurant in Zhuhai (about 30 miles from the boatyard). The food was excellent and everybody is very accommodating/understanding of my need to watch my sodium intake.
We got back to the yard about 9:30, made up our bed and were lights off about 10:30. This morning, not long after I went to the galley to heat water for drinks, I hear a plaintive meow. I looked around several times before seeing the senior boatyard cat outside asking to come in. "Slick" the cat inspects all of the boats so we had to let him in to check things out (actually, he's been on many times so maybe he was just checking to see if we were all right).
Later in the morning the new kitten at the yard came by to see how we were doing as well. As you can tell from the photo, Marcia is quite taken with him. You can also see the borrowed jacket Marcia is wearing. The temperature has dropped in recent days to overcast, windy and mid-50's.
Since it is Sunday, no workers on our boat today. We are running our generator and doing a load of wash in our washer/dryer combo. We are also running our AirCon units as heaters today to add load to the generator.
