Fun house and Day o nothing ahhhh :)

I've been waiting for a slow day to give you the fun house analogy. So here it is then after that my nothing day.
Fun house
Sailing is like a fun house. Ya know when you walk in usually there is a bridge that moves and you grab a rail to try and get thru. Walking from the stern to the bow while sailing you grab the rails and life lines while the footing under you is all wooggie and rockin and bucking.  
There is the house where everthing is tipped at a 45 degree angle and you try to walk. While the boat is healed over on a tack. If you go down below trying to get to the bathroom is very funny not to mention navigating to the bow of the boat, trying to open the door and shut the door, ok peeing is an art depending how far you are tipped over and which direction you are tipped. 
Fun houses have peep holes to look through. Same does the boat have cute port holes where you see the world rock and roll. It messes with your mind and balance. There even is a shock value of a black cat passing by a port window. Ha ha
Fun houses have mirrors. Well we have one it is mounted just about too high for me to see myself so I don't look too often but when I do stand on my tippie toes the mirror is moving with the boat and  I Look funny and I laugh. Also I have seen ben get thinner like a mirror. His hair is getting blonde-white, a pink nose like a clown. ( I have the pink burnt nose too.)  
Fun house there are small tunnels to crawl through. We have our cute little bunk. You crawl up one step and fly into bed. Or the aft birth you wiggle in the bed and careful not to hit your head!!
Making food while under way is funny too. You stand at a sharp angle and the stove swivels back and forth. It is an optical illution. The food stays in the tilting sausepan. 
While sitting in the captains chair one feels like you are sitting on a bucking bronco. Weeeee! That is fun!
