Overnighting?
How many nights a year do you sleep on your boat?
I am hate to admit last year it was less than 12.
This year we will do better-- I hope!

RE: Overnighting?
2008 and 2009 we averaged 120 nights a year, most of those anchored out with a few @ the dock. Most of 2010 we were boatless so not so many nights last year though still probably 20-30 nights...most of those at the dock working on the boat!
2011....hope to have our usual 120 nights or so for the year!

RE: Overnighting?
for me sleeping ,somewhere else than my boat is a treat. Don't think that i don't like sleeping on my boat but when you live aboard you appreciate it, once in a while.

******** Phil Fill,** No worries I think I am the curve breaker on this one.** I figured out we live too close to our dock.* It is too easy to go back and forth.

For several years, we were able to spend about ninety nights a year on the boat, but work life now makes it more like 25. Damn work!!!

RE: Overnighting?
Every Friday and Saturday, be it at our marina or cruised out somewhere, adds up to 104.* Not sure we spend enough other nights to hit 200 but definitely in the 150 range.

RE: Overnighting?
62 nights on the boat last year, but I was still working. This year will approach 100 for the boat. I've been in the motorhome for the past 109, with a couple or three weeks until we get home again.

RE: Overnighting?
From the end of April until early November we're onboard every Friday and Saturday night. Throw in a few three day weekends and a week or two cruising and it winds up around 65. We'll be starting again in a little over a month

Yes. Exactly.
Still a working slob, and now with only about 2 weeks vaca per year, we are down to about 75 days per season.
That sucks, but on the good side when at home we sleep on a water bed.
So I guess in summation we sleep on a water bed all year....

We accomplish sleep aboard 45 to 50 nigths annually, nearly 100% on the hook! When one business sells - plan to push 150/200 nights annual... Maybe more - still near 100% on the hook! YEAH!!! - Art

RE: Overnighting?
We spent 30 nights sleeping on our boat and 30 days fixing all the things that were busted.
*I get a 10 for that one.

Overnighting?
I feel....well...very unslept.... for want of a better word. I fell into the < 12 category for this last year..... pretty lonely down here....* The irony is, I've never spent more on the thing getting her up to scratch than I have this year.* What does that say....?
