We've talked about the things we miss while on the boat--ice cream, more than five hours of continuous sleep, greasy burritos, etc.--but there are things I'll miss about life aboard too. There are the obvious things like the tuna sashimi, great weather, and sailing all day, but also some things I didn't expect: going barefoot, for example. For most of the trip, it's been warm enough to go without shoes all the time, even at night. Nearly everything on the boat is barefoot-friendly and going without shoes makes for a simple life. Not having to put on or take off shoes several times a day means a simpler daily routine.
Being barefoot all the time and the necessary habit of grabbing any available handhold as you move about the boat makes me feel like a monkey. It's fun once you get the hang of it.
