If I had to guess, it’s about security. Sleeping on a boat, no one is getting on there without you knowing. Animals generally stay away from the undrinkable ocean and you can basically run into the ocean to escape from a predator. Most things don’t hunt in the rain. All these things aren’t permanent security, but they are a temporary reprieve from the day-to-day dangers for our ancestors. Maybe.
