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, shouldContinue reading “Boating Decisions!”

So Many Memories
In the last blog we discussed the reason we buy a boat is to help create some amazing memories. I decided I would share a few of my favorite memories with you and I started thinking back to all the good times in my life that have been around boating. I have been working onContinue reading “So Many Memories”
Take a Mini-Vacation
I will start on the well-worn path of “the end is nigh” or the more positive “seize the day”.

I regularly get calls to help sellContinue reading “Take a Mini-Vacation”
Fish or Cut Bait
I get it-pulling the trigger on a boat purchase is hard to do. It is a big commitment of time, money, and your effort (see Feb blog).

Your vision might be similar or completely different but still, that is what drives you to overcome what we might refer to as the “inconveniences” ofContinue reading “Sometimes You Have to Suffer”
Why the Old Stuff?
Many of us have an irresistible (or irresponsible) attraction to older things. Especially older things that whirr, clank and clunk. It might be a car, a Hi-Fi System (you youngsters can look that one up) a motorcycle, a house etc. I prefer boats, specifically, powerboats. I had some time to think about this lately whenContinue reading “Why the Old Stuff?”
The Mid-Winter Project Slog
I don’t know about you, but I find mid-winter a pretty tough time to stay motivated. This is especially true for the outside projects that responsibilities, weather and lack of light have stretched out into a seemingly never-ending drudgery. I have one of those going right now: a leak at the base of the salonContinue reading “The Mid-Winter Project Slog”
