You wouldn't get much boating done in the Pacific NW if you were put
off by rain or by whitecaps.


Yep. We never had a desire to take the boat out on rainy days or in rough
water conditions, even with our 32 footer as we have other things to do.
We also never owned a boat that kept us captive (while underway) in an
enclosed pilothouse each and every time we took it out or to have to travel
in a boat with a maximum speed of 10 knots.

Different strokes................. ;-)
