Great information .The reality of living on boats in winter is rarely explained so well thanks .Also living on boats in extreme heat i did in the canaries island 100% humiduy and 45 C in august is another subject that needs covering .My solution was swim from boat every few minutes and do as little as possible day time siesta if you could .Modern boats do not have enough ventilation for the extreme climates.USA boats tend to solve problem with air conditioning solutions I prefer to suggest other solutions as the fuel costs of aircon are major problem .Always do hard top bimini maybe with canvas side s or with ability to open all windows. Have deck tents to put al over the decks to try to keep deck cooler .Also pup water all over to decks to create evaporation to help cool the exposed decks if sailing or underway and can use deck tents or covers .Increase size of doors and hatches and get air vents and try to have windows that are colured to remove heat and preferably can be opened at anchor or in marinas.have good fridge solutions that can make ice to keep drinks cold .Fire away with any other ideas

Here's some advice: Get rid of your ridiculous tattoos. They aren't going to look pretty when you are old.

Personally, I think Kirby's tats are a form of expression, she hasn't gone the main stream route of tribal tats and sleeves (which has become meaningless), instead it seems that she has added a tattoo at a different stage in her life. This is actually getting back to the origins of tattoos. A living record of events in your life.
I would love an explanation of each tat, but hey, thats personal to her. Contrary to popular belief, not every tat is a tramp stamp (This seems to be USA originating phenomenon) Sometimes they tell a story of a persons journey through life.
Yes her tatts may seem out there to you, and may look disjointed and ugly to you, but this isn't about your looking at them as just spots of ink in skin, these tats are more than likely reminders of her lifes journey. I bet if you asked her, she could give you a timeline, her mindset of an event and the history leading up to each tattoo.
Personally, I don't think her tatts are either your's or mine's business. They clearly arent tatts for the sake of having them as a fashion statement they are more a belief, and at the end of the day, it's her skin and her story, and she is obviously comfortably living within both.
You obviously don't agree with her form of expression, but she hasn't asked you to wear them, or tried to push what ever personal belief what each tatt represents onto you. Step back and relax, her tatts are hers, not yours, on her skin, not yours. Her responsibility to live with, not yours.
Stepping of my soap box now....lol

Some advice back at you, get rid of your awful attitude and your rude trolling on the internet (or are you too old to know what "trolling" is?) You have no place commenting on a woman's body or what she chooses to put on it, at any age. Don't comment here again or you will be blocked from my channel.
