Boat ownership is full of decisions. Non-boaters have no idea the magnitude of what we are dealing with here. First, should we boat alone or with friends? Logistics-should we anchor in a quiet harbor or tie up in a fun marina? Once we have made that decision, we move to provisioning- the afternoon snack, should we go with coffee aboard or on shore? If we are going ashore, what about ice-cream? The stress is mounting! We could go for a row, or perhaps a paddle, what about going ashore for a walk or a hike? How about none of those and stay aboard and take a nap? Is napping even an option, no one said napping was an option, was that in the brochure? Now we must to think about Happy Hour-when is that really? Is it at 5PM, similar to land time or is time warped by the effect of the water and should be at 4PM? Or did the nap go long and it will be starting at 6PM. Finally, what about dinner!? I can’t deal, I need to call my aqua-therapist.
Boat ownership-requires so many decisions… I can’t wait for next season so I can make some more. Happy 2025!
