Scott's been doing a bit more of this lately

When I was leaving Raven back in August, I had mixed feelings about it: I knew I had to get off but still wondered about all those things that I took care of more than Scott. See you have to split some responsibilities up and then do the rest together, though one kinda knows about everything. Was Scott going to remember to close all the portholes every time he went sailing? Would he check to see if the batteries were charging - just because? Who would tell him the vacuum cleaner was drawing to much power? I even thought I should came back and help Scott sail it to where it was going to go - for a second. I didn't have to care anymore, right?

Both of us not being on the boat gave us the luxury of not worrying about the boat that much. But now that Scott is back there I hear myself telling him things like: to check the 2nd battery bank because I think we unhooked it and emailing Howard to tell him where the tuna fish is. So I am still caring about the boat. I do care, have to care and like caring especially since Scott is now dealing with all the projects on his own. We technically still own Raven and it is worth alot financially as well as the hard work and memories we have into it. Plus it is what we talk about. It's only fair though too seeing how I still need Scott to help out with some house stuff even from El Salvador - thank goodness for phones and Skype!
