Off to the boat
Friday, February 16, 2007
My husband & I have a 28ft. sailboat in a local harbor less than 2 hrs. from the city. It's an extravagance on the one hand - but we do try to go up there as much as possible. And since the boat is big enuf for my husband to stand up in - we have rigged it out as our little weekend cottage by the sea to enjoy even if we don't actually take it out!
I never thought I would do this - as my parents didn't like being restricted to one holiday place - but it is so beautiful there, I dont' mind just getting to know ONE place very well...
And considering how much hotel rooms would cost - it really is a bargain! One weekend at a motel would cost more than 1/2 of our slip fee!!
It's been rainy, so we haven't been able to go - but this is a holiday weekend coming up - so off we go for the long weekend...whew. It really is nice to get AWAY! And the boat is THERE so we don't have to worry much about breaking the budget - as it has already gone into the mix....
Thank heaven my husband is a sailor & also likes to tinker - we got a good deal on the boat, too - (Note: boats really depreciate enormously - so do consider used boats as an economic alternative if you have the expertise or good advice....)

Sounds like heaven :) My husband and I
just have a fishing boat, but it is so nice to
go out where it's quiet to fish and enjoy
each others company. Have fun! Joyce
