What kind of suntan lotion does everyone keep on board their boat? do you
prefer oil or lotion? How much do you normally use in a season?

I try to keep on of each on board, so I have one of each. I buy the big
bottle of generic lotion and one bottle will last the season.

What is everyone's else favorite?

Congratulations! I think this is the first semi-boating related topic
you've posted on in months.
Keep up the good work.




Reggie has a sunlamp over his bathtub, where he floats his rubber ducky.
He thinks his ducky is a boat.


And it looks like it fried his brain in the process.

Nothing.

That's right - you heard me, nothing. :)

I don't wear shorts or sandals and I wear light colored UV cloth long
sleeved shirts along with a wide brimmed hat - even on the hottest
days.

Buncha pansies - sun blocker - phffftt....
SWF,
When you have a killer body like mine, all of the dock girls want you to
walk around without a shirt on. Most of them prefer to rub oil on my
chest and back, but I prefer a SPF 15 lotion. It does not get the seats
and gunwales all slick.
ps - I used to only use Baseball/Sailor Caps for head gear because they
were cheap and if they blew off, I had 5 more down below. But I have
since started using a wide brim Tilley Hat which protects the whole face
and back of the neck. The neck strap also holds the hat on when you are
underway.

I don't go that far, but I wear a wide brimmed Brahma hat from
Australia. Tan with a green interior brim - keeps the sun glare down.

I would assume you mean this company:

Are you using a leather or canvas model? I have always steered (catch
the pun) clear of the leather due to the spray, falling overboard or
just swimming while wearing the hat.

I suggest your wife cut off access to those late night x-rated movies.
You're quickly losing whatever slim grip on reality you may have had.

First smart thing you said this year.
I have two Tilleys... one for boating and one for 'dress occasions'.

Don,
Why would I want to, even if it is an hallucination, it is my
hallucination and I like it. I have seen all of the ads in the boating
magazines and every boat owner has a svelte young girl hanging onto his
arm. Mine girls just happen to be dock wenches.

I love the Tilley for sun protection, but to be honest, I have never
worn one for a "dress occasion". I do like the way Tilley's "insurance
program" allows you buy a 2nd hat at wholesale. I might have to take
them up on the offer.

........cost you this year? How big is your dock and what amenities
does your marina offer?

For us, $1,525. Drive up dock, 25 foot floater with water, electric
and dock box. The marina has 250 slips total, a pool, clubhouse and
top notch mechanics. The owners (3rd generation) live on site.

We moved to this marina because of our bad experiences with the dufus
*OMC Certified* mechanics at the marina we were at last year.

So how about you?

I find it amazing that people won't get into their local waters, but
need a pool.

Moved from open moorage (about $5k per year in a "public" marina) to
covered moorage at over $6k. My covered moorage is something of a
"deal", as the owner plans to leave the cover on and pass along the
cost of meeting the new fire codes. Will probably be $7k - $8k per year
at that point. It's possible to pay the same per month for open moorage
in this area if you don't shop carefully- and the moorage market
hereabouts is always a sellers market. Fixed or diminishing supply,
increasing demand.

A few years ago, our local marina owners' association hired an advisor
to speak at one of their meetings. His message: "Raise your moorage
rates constantly. Do not try to keep your rates down to where your
slips are always filled. Shoot for about a 20% vacancy rate.
When you are 20% vacant because of higher rates, your overall revenue
will be more than it was with all of the slips filled at a lower rate
and your expenses will be less because you are providing services to
fewer boats."

Truth is, they can raise the cost of moorage as much as they want to-
and for folks who want to own and enjoy a boat too large to haul out
onto a trailer and park in the driveway (consequently pizzing off the
neighbors) there are few alternatives.

That's about the price, give or take, for a similar sized slip at the
local fisherman's marina. No pool or clubhouse, but a nice, smelly fish
cleaning station, general store, clean bathrooms, running water and
electric.

You cannot imagine what the fish cleaning station smells like in July
and August. Well, maybe you can!
Is Jimmy asking his silly questions again? What won't that boy do for
recognition and self esteem?

As usual!!

Ah! I see I remain the topic of John's posts, this time being made fun
of because I posted a boating question in a boating NG. Imaging that.

And I see that Reggie joined in with his attempt to hijack the thread
with a silly side topic.

I guess this thread shows the real purpose of our non boat owners here.
And to think they their stated goal was to better the tone of the NG.

My, my, my.


Herring and Reggie only come here to be the a**holes their wives won't
let them be at home. Remember: neither of them have a boat. Herring gave
his away, and Reggie never had one.

Harry, even when you make absolute bull**** statements, I'm proud to be
mentioned. You are such a neat guy!

I'm sure Jimmy H is very proud of being your good friend!
