And half of them are dumber than that.
/lifestyleBut the boat is so WIDE
My desk is aft and port side. The galley is amidships on starboard. Twelve feet away (just measured). I habitually take off my readers to get up from the desk and go check the (tonight it is a) rack of lamb, but then I’m trying to read the thermometer with no glasses. Dammit. So
