There are moments when the outside world gives us a reminder we're not alone in strange ways. Recently we've been so wrapped up in interior projects that some strangers from shore came to check on us, since they hadn't seen anyone on deck for a week. Sound travels far over water, so usually we don't see other people, but hear them.
One night I was trying to sleep when there was a load obnoxious snoring resulting in the following, "Hey you're snoring.", "No I'm not, you are!". We rolled over, but soon enough heard the snoring again. After two more attempts to fall asleep just laid there, "I'm not snoring, and you're not snoring, than who's snoring?" The following night we were invited to dinner, at a new boat anchored about 100 yards away, with a pet pug named Enzo. After dinner Enzo curled up on the bench next to us, quickly fell asleep, and started snoring. It was the mysterious snoring we heard the night before. His owners just shrugged and said, "Yeah that's be Enzo happens every night." For the next few weeks, no matter what we did during the day, every night Enzo reminded us other people were out there.
