[Island Life]

If you've been an islander for long, you know that, for islanders, a boat is much more a mode of transportation - a vehicle for lugging groceries, people, dogs, water, luggage, building supplies, and furniture in one direction, and trash in the other! - than it is a recreational vehicle. Sure, you'll have some good fun in it, but most of the time you'll be schlepping stuff. Also, you'll have pine needles on your island. And dirt. Please don't buy something that you don't want to get dirty. Enjoy your time on the island and forget about the bits and pieces of nature you'll be tracking onto the boat.
