She looks to be a sturdy, comfortable craft. Don't forget hydration is key. I find in lower latitudes such as your current one, they tend to have vast amounts of frozen drinks. I find these hydrate and cool well. Enjoy Captain and sail on.

The S.S. Hammock you say... now there is a boat everyone could love. Just think no learning curve and it fits the single handed sailor like a glove.

I was sure the aft view would include feet.... What, no feet?? I'm not sure the captain of the vessel was really on board!

Any pics of my feet would certainly have been blocked by the board's profanity filters...
Skipper was also aboard to see 3 shooting stars at 2am one night, and also to watch an incredible display of internal cloud flashes turn to rapid fire cloud to water bolts as a storm blew in late one night. I had to reef twice so as not to spill the frozen refreshments j42goose mentioned above..
