Sailboat Tranquilizer: What do people do, whilst in a marina or at anchor?

You may questioned, what people on a sailboat do, when lines are tied up in a marina or at anchor.

Well, let me tell you:

When moving from land on a boat, there are several things, immediately becomes obvious:

Has that person, whom invented the dishwasher, ever been awarded with the Nobel price?
Why do boat builders pretend, that humans seldomly grow taller than 5 feet?
Was there a time before a refrigerator and a freezer?
Was it on purpose, that the boat builder constructed things in a way, that you have to disassemble the whole boat at the bow, before you can access something, actually installed at stern?

So you could amend this list infinitely!

But soon, you recognize other things as well, such as:

Where do all this additional, new stars are coming from, that I can see at night?
Why do I have so many things at home, which don't miss even a second here out on the water?
Having a rich or a simple meal is not a determine factor for having a better or a less good day.
A simple life can be as, or even more rewarding than a luxury one.
The cruising community is a real family. Without ever having seen each other, almost everybody is helpful and offers a hand, where ever needed. Why does this work on the water only?

On a boat, there is always something to do, to maintain, change or figure out. Sometimes it's just toping up the engine's oil, the coolant, the diesel or the gasoline of the generator or the dinghy. But there is much more, you need to take care of: Checking the energy consumption and generation, to make sure, the batteries are fully charged once a day, repairing or installing some piece of equipment etc.

Yesterday, I finished up the installation of the two new SmartPlugs for the shore power. This Sytem is much safer than the common shore power inlet. and plugs.
