Sounds like when the tidal surge is up it is best to stay on the Lonoh if possible so you do not have to climb to get back aboard. I think that AC is a fabulous idea for both you and Ms. Kitty. Not sure how it affects you but the heat in the summer is as bad as the cold in the winter for me. Don’t get me wrong I will take hot temps over cold and snow but when it gets really hot, it is just too much to handle.
Take care
