11/24/07 - Winter Quiet


The marina is like a tomb these days. I don't really mind the quiet as it brings with it the stillness and peace I love, but the lack of human activity is a bit un-nerving at times. I know they are there...I am not the only liveaboard...but with the cold and the long, dark nights they, like me, hunker down inside their boats. Heaters on. Swaddled in extra clothes and fleece blankets. Warm drinks with a good book. Perhaps a movie or favorite tv show. Reclusive though we are, however, to a person we love the beauty around us. Spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Full moons shimmering on our watery backyard. Waterfowl acting as watchdogs. And always there to help if ever they are needed.
