The plan was to live aboard 7 months,
and flop at the cottage 5 months.
High water levels this year,
coupled with the fact that my boat was too high
to get under the bridge,
left me stranded for a month or two.
Finally went into the water in June,
Currently in the process
of setting up a few more...
So anyway, my master stateroom has two twin beds.
That seems a little odd, until you realize that
they're built over the gas tanks.
Two tanks, two beds...
One berth is built in, placed between the aft wall
and the wall separating the head from the stateroom.
Surrounded on three sides, it's almost like a little crib.
Almost...
My plan is to have something built
that will double as a ladder to the emergency exit door
(pretty damn high up, tbh)
and a crib rail.
I love to host vanillas on my boat,
and give random tours of it to passersby.
Can't have a 24/7 crib.
But a crib rail that can be quickly removed
and turned into a ladder?
Fuck yes.
I recently went out and bought a toddler rail.
See below...
I bought the longest, tallest one available.
And I snagged a shit ton of plushies from a
secret source,
and brought them in to join the ones I already had.
The result is pretty dope...
an awesome little toddler bed/crib
filled with fun little friends.
Picture my boat being bounced by the waves,
rocking me back and forth,
back and forth,
back and forth,
to sleep.
The coolest part is,
once I'm in there, getting in and out of that berth is a PITA.
It's high as fuck, and I've got short legs.
I try not to do it more than once.
So I basically pamp up,
bring a bottle,
sneak in my iPhone and charger,
and am in bed for the night,
safely tucked in behind my little mesh rail.
It's about as close to being put in a crib as you can get...
Looking forward to hosting more ABDLs,
so y'all can try it too.
I will eventually add that 'real' crib rail,
and probably a crib bumper and mobile, too.
For now, it's close enough...
just wanted to share it with y'all.
In upstate New York?
Visiting?
Hit me up!
