There is a benefit from boating in a tropical or sub tropical climate.
It sure beats dodging icebergs and windmills up north. :-)

I think windmills are kind of cool, icebergs not so much. I'm of the
opinon that most of the people who fight windfarms are experiencing
rectal-cranial inversions. Every large windmill generates the
equivalent power of a 2,000 hp diesel engine, approximately 100
gallons per hour of fuel that could be going to some higher purpose
like running my boat or your RV. :-)
