Odd things happen to electronics when exposed repeatedly to the damp salt air.
Near the start of our trip, I kept hearing this weird noise that apparently originated from different parts of the boat at different times. It definitely wasn't natural; something electronic, yet at times it would come from places where there were no electronics! Mandy didn't notice it at first but then I got her listening for it too. It remained a mystery, until I noticed that the customary crisp "ding" didn't come from my watch to mark the hour.
At first it only did it every few times it tried to chime the hour, but now it's every hour, on the hour. The display going all fuzzy isn't a camera artifact, either, it really does that. It's no big deal, it's just a cheap Coleman watch, but the funny thing is that it still keeps good time, and the alarm still works just as it's suppose to. The hour chime, however, gives it an epileptic fit.
