(my first thread so be gentle )

-No not about sex (necessarily). What do you love doing on your boat that you don't usually tell others. Give it up so others can have fun too!

I love showering on the stern of the boat in the evening when the sun is going down, watching the sea. Ok, not real crazy-so I'm sure those on CF can top me.

Re: Secret Pleasures Aboard Your Boat

Showering in the cockpit is a real pleasure, but it's no secret

Prolly not now. We are in a marina where kayaks,rowers, paddleboarders,sail, power,huge party boats & harbor police go by (& on Wed. the racers) so I try to do it between boats. Luckily it's dark. Yeah, I need to be back cruising.

Having a small potted Christmas tree when ever possible. Afterwards we plant it someplace. We also have a dedicated Christmas box aboard for decorations.

Re: Secret Pleasures Aboard Your Boat

Saying that I have to go to the boat to fix the whatyoumacallit which is situated at the bottom of the whowazoo, which means I'll be covered in oil in the bilges the WHOLE day, looking down cast when no-one offers to help. I then trudge off to the car shouting, ''OK then, I'll see ya all later'' 15 minutes later I'm chilling in the cockpit of the yacht, opening a cold one and chilling in the sun, contented . (don't tell, it's a secret)

Re: Secret Pleasures Aboard Your Boat

I like knowing that its so private I can take a shower without wearing my clothes AND sleeping naked too!!

Nah, only joking.

I like being able to play MY music without fear of arrest.

Re: Secret Pleasures Aboard Your Boat

My favorite time is when there is nothing broken and no maintenance due.

The secret of getting there often eludes me still.

Re: Secret Pleasures Aboard Your Boat

i agree with the cockpit showers. anchored out this past week weather was a bit frightful but heat up some water from the solar shower bags and showering in the cockpit its invigorating and almost a little naughty probably why it has its appeal.
