When she got back to the boat, she placed that shoe atop our VHF which is mounted on the overhead just as you come down the companionway...

The operative question I have is... Why? What was the question this placement answers?
- Was it to test Eolian's stability?
- Was it to see if the VHF is mounted at the Eolian's center of motion? (It is, pretty nearly...)
- Was it to test me in some way? If so, I have missed the cues...
- Was it associated with the rest of her shoe collection in some way?
But she won't tell me why.
And I know better than to disturb it...

Damping a vibration?
I love this. Full stop.
It's amazing how much power little bits of things have in making us remember a place or time. We have a lot of things like that on the boat. For instance, we have this tiny little rubber rat, less than an inch long, that came from a life long ago where it resided on top of Tim's toolbox in a hangar where he worked. Nobody even remembers how it got there, but it serves as a connection to those days gone by. Shells also do that for me. I can remember each beach where they came from and what we were doing there.
