Two foot itch
There it is buzzing around your cockpit. It's about this time in the summer that the bug strikes. I'm talking about two-foot-itis, that bites you when everything on your boat is perfect. You can scratch the bite, but it won't go away.
'Honey, imagine how nice it would be to have a larger aft cabin. A bigger fridge. More seating in the cockpit.' You've heard all this before.
The only way to achieve more space and niftier boating life fixtures is to get a bigger boat. And you're about to - the only question is when.There's no rush. Take some time to look at your dock mates' boats. Go aboard…lounge at the dock, go for a ride (ask them first, perhaps) and see whether that boat would add dimension to your life.
Start now, see a bunch, look at fall inventory sell-offs. Then after the winter holidays it's boat show time and you can get carried away with your dream. Did you hear that bzzzz noise there?
Has the 2-F bug bitten you?What are you looking for, chasing or buying? What attributes are you after? at CYonboard@kerrwil.com.
