Is that because boating is a mostly indoor sport up in your area?
Picnic and lobster boats have nice roomy cockpits for entertaining,
suntanning, lounging, fishing, et cetera. Even in New England, where I
grew up, you can enjoy an open boat. The water temp off the beach where
we lived in the summer is 73F today, warm enough for a swim.

I'll take it. The Columbia is a refreshing 72F and we've had perhaps
1 rainy/humid day in the last month or so.
