Boating and weather advice

Learning when to go and not to go will
Just take some practice. It’s not fun to Load up the boat and have a small hurricane show up.

I like the shurhold ext pole. I have a paddle attachment, brushes and boat hook. Great space saver on a small boat. https://shurhold.com/products/telescoping-handles

I also find it helpful to leave my lines set at the dock. I keep a set on the boat for travel. This does a few things.

The dock lines are always the same length and just need some adjusting from time to time.

Almost anyone in the boat can help grab a line now and hold it or just put it on a cleat.

Saves time setting up lines stowing etc when docking. Particularly helpful when it’s windy and the last thing you want to worry about is if you’re lines are set.

Good luck. Have fun and patience. You’ll get it.
