You take your Larrivee out on the boat?

Hell, no. I just got it and am still in the "worshipful mode" stage.
It's the best guitar I've ever PLAYED, never mind owned.

It's only been to one jam session. A buddy has a 1975 Martin C-16 and
they are pretty well par in quality, even though they are quite
different (and different sounding) guitars. Most guys have Gibsons,
Epiphones and Yamahahas in my jam session.

I decided that the best protection for my Breedlove was the
purchase of a Takamine.


Now, it's funny you should say that. I have a Takamine CP-135 with
electric pickup. It's pretty basic and it has a classical neck, so
it's not a great "strumming" guitar. But it's loud and compact, and
THAT'S what I take to the boat.

Now, my bodhran goes in the Zodiac in a sealed garbage bag, but
there's usually a bonfire on the beach to dry that out G

The pennywhistles and recorders and ocarinas seem unaffected by
humidity. Harmonicas can suffer if not kept dry.
