Is there anything you miss?

Is there anything you miss?
Yep - it's another one of the dirt-dweller's topics! Stop your groaning - you know you like seeing my questions come up

So anyways - is there anything that you liveaboards, or long term cruisers miss about your life on land? I've heard plenty about what makes life on board great. And it stokes my desire to shorten my timeframe dramatically. But I wonder if there's anything you miss about living on land?

As always - thanks for each and every response!

A bath!

I agree, a bath. My lottery win plan is to by a bath, take it to a custom catamaran builder and say, here is my bath, please build me a boat around it

I once missed peanut butter for a year. But then sailing to a country where you could buy it, it wasn't as good as i remembered.

Apart of that, can't think of anything much.

Carp fishing on an English estate lake.

Nothing else

Which reminds me that the best cure for seasickness is to stand under a tree

I miss the unlimited water supply of living in a house, cant think of any other negatives of living on a boat !

A bath!

In that case you need a Morgan 461 which came with one.

I miss

English real ale I some times dream of a proper pint. Foxy's brew comes close but nothing quite like Batemans XXX.

Going to the same supermarket every week. I hate shopping and having to wander up and down the isles of some island shop vainly looking for something they may or may not have is pretty close to my private version of hell.

I miss living onboard. If I posted this before, it's because it's so good I miss it twice.

Proper milk and a proper loaf of bread - the same things I missed during my time abroad with the grey funnel line.

Cider, I really miss a pint of ice cold cider.

And my workshop!!!

Age is just a state of mind........Now...who wants to come out and play?

 

[Sy-Revolution]

..........yeh but you've gone 'ome! Now there's no one here for us to blag tea and knobbly sausage off!

Mowing the lawn. Not.

A bath. First thing I do when we go visit people in UK is to slope off for an hours soak in a hot bath....... Otherwise, nothing.

 

[JustinC]

most missed

a proper desk to work from.

That said, if I was back in the office working full time, I´d miss absolutely everything else about the sailing....

Friends and family of course...

Familiar big supermarket - or better still Tesco home delivery!
A bath
A washing machine (and unlimited water!)
Reliable, fast internet connection
