First night out...

It always takes me a couple nights to get used to a different bed.  And, a v-berth in the boat is certainly different from the Select Comfort that we have in the house and the 5th wheel.  But, it is surprisingly comfortable.  We put a new memory foam with gel mattress topper on before we left.

The noises are different, as well.  The fridge is only a couple feet from the berth, so you hear the compressor cycle on and off.  A couple more nights in here, and that drifts off into the background.

Mostly, the motion is different when the boat is on the trailer: you feel the trailer suspension flex as you move... not the pleasant rocking motion when the boat is on water.

We added a dehumidifier this year.  That, along with the solar exhaust fan we installed should make day-to-day living in the boat less damp... of course, the rain we had yesterday and last night didn't help in that department. ;-)

Fresh cinnamon rolls this morning, and we're ready to roll.
