Day 1,618

For all the sweat and toil of living in a boat, it's still safer and cheaper than a house. I may have to move every two weeks and have the toilet pumped out from time-to-time and something may have been following me for the last eight or so weeks, knocking on the hull when it knows I'm trying to sleep but otherwise it's been great.

My inland friends have been dropping like flies from all the creatures that got released when someone broke into a sealed mine tunnel and let a whole lot of chaos out. I've lost count of all the "Rest In Peace" messages I've read online while me and the other boaters just keep moving and listening.

Knocking from the hull aside, the biggest danger out here is honestly just storms. A decent bolt of lightning can split your boat right to the water and the next thing you know your bilge pump is overheating and you've got to jump ship which is as good as walking right into a knife.
