[@PacificSolo]

Thanks, Shawn! I appreciate the tips. I agree that things like food and water should be doubled in stock to lessen the exposure during the pandemic.

Just a note... I have not found any YT videos about "Bore-Tide", but was forced to learn it when we were in a slip for two years in a river. For 1-year we were perpendicular, and the second, parallel to the center-line of the river. Eventually, when the tidal-punch hit us, we knew the tide had changed 18-minutes earlier, because that's how long the punch took to get to our location. The formula is complicated, but the concept is a Must-Know for any liveaboard. We live on our 33' Pearson, top sail, six years now. We keep canned foods in our dry bilge, (about 4" of our draft), and beans & rice above the waterline in watertight containers. That also prevents rats from smelling them. We also agree with your other tips, in whole. Rolling our clothes was fun to learn, adding water tanks, creating deck shading for summer, and the wind-scoop of sleeping is a must. Ventilation for sleeping in winter, is also a must, because condensation dripping down on us in the middle of the night is a real drag. Thanx for your tips.
