I agree with O C Diver. its looking good for a weekend out on the boat- 85 and slight chance of rain. Maybe we will head over to Sanibel, or Captiva.

Why did I buy a boat?
Right now I am between boats but contemplating a purchase. But why? I cant really say and in fact I am thinking I am crazy. We are in our 80s ad currently its a choice between an airplane and a boat. Wife says at least on a boat can have a heart attack and only I will know the difference....LOL
But I am wondering if there are any post 80 boat drivers on here. I would like to hear from them about whether or not they have regrets at 80+

For me, it's pretty much equal combinations of the following, in no particular order:
- A desire to be self-sufficient with a just a tinge of "prepper" thrown in
- Sunsets at anchor
- Endless things to both invent and fix for my nerdy engineer-self
- Sunsets at anchor
- Ability to just up and leave if a geographic area or neighbors are disagreeable
- Sunsets at anchor
- Travel to anywhere at a slow pace
- Sunsets at anchor
