You know your a liveaboard when......

[maby]

When you're not that bothered about going ashore.
When you sleep more deeply aboard than ashore!

That's been true almost since the first week we owned a boat!

You can wash the dishes in an inch of water
You know how to make use of all available space in any randomly shaped container
You know what a bow-thruster sounds like - and wish you didn't
You know what a cockroach looks like - and wish you didn't

An inch! How profligate - I do it in a mug full!

I have heard stories of people buying beds that stay where they are at night. If I ever move back into bricks and mortar I want one that pitches, rolls, bounces, and has no spring in it just so I can get a good nights sleep. Oh, it would also need a very loud stereo at the side with howling winds, sails flapping, winches grinding and lots of cussing in the background.

You know that the water will always run out exactly as you lather up the soap in your hair in the shower...
You know that if the above happens to SWMBO and you didn't ensure both water tanks were filled then you are doomed...
Blowing a fuse by boiling the kettle dry knocks off all your neighbours electrics...
You have swans in your garden that constantly act friendly but then growl at you for no reason...
You turn off lights when the heating comes on, not to save on the bills but to stop them going off when the battery dies in 2 hours...
You keep getting up to find new neighbours and start to develop a complex...
You wonder how carpet and bed shops actually stay in business.
