Yes, some people find cleaning very therapeutic.

In one of his two books, Sean Lemmon (as he called himself therein) did say that people were not watching T.V. because they were "all washing the rabio".

But whereabouts on a boat is a rabio?

I got told that by the bloke at Stone who  started his engine at 11pm to heat the water for a shower and who, after being politely reminded about the 8-8 rule, got seriously aggressive and left it running till 2am.

It's not just the noise that's annoying,  the vibration travels through the water and up into the boat. But I'm afraid it's nonsense to say you can't hear any engine - the owner is used to it and probably sealed off from it in his boat. The rest of us aren't. 

Surely you felt a sudden urge to practice your trombone from 2:00 am until dawn? 

Or failing that open a bottle of wine and find that the cork somehow jammed itself into his exhaust pipe.

My rule is that if I can leave a full length boat space I will, otherwise it's up close to the next.
