I can attest to that! I also find flogging the crap out of a boat in heavy weather is also very stress relieving! :)

Living on a boat, with the boat constantly in motion, we get muscle conditioning just by standing. Add in fresh air, a little sun, getting to bed at dusk and getting up at dawn, and that good feeling when the sails set and the engine goes quiet, it's all good.

Boats usually are enjoyed while the sun is shining. The best source of vitamin D. An important vitamin to a healthy life.

Otherwise known as Holy Sh*t moments. We were hit by 55 knot winds during a squall while anchored one night. I started the engine and tried to take some of the strain off the rode. I could see the Admiral and our dog getting airborne in the forward cabin as we reached the top of each wave. After about 7 or 8 minutes of this, the wind abated to 35 knots. I thought "Thank Goodness", only 35 knots, then I had to laugh. Thirty five knots had been the highest winds we had seen prior to this, and I had thought that was scary.

Now that sounds like a pretty safe promise... Kind of a tease... Maybe if Brian heads to NH for a taste of New England... But every time Will goes to the sunshine, it has been south of the border....

I know. Brian Hold your breath...:poke::sick::puke:
Naw that won't work... Will cannot see you turning blue...

That has been the recent history. However, we are planning a drive to FL in April, then taking about to NOLA from there, I'd wee can find a place to stay for Jazz Fest that is Rougarou friendly.
Sorry, no current plans for the Pacific coast.
BTW, of Brian wants to come to NH for a taste of New England. I would welcome him with open arms.
