Boating Do's And Don't's

By Bill Heath


Does having a three day sail in an old boat sound nice to you? Here are a few things to think about before you sail away.

Do check the price. Instead of sailing in one of the oldest boats in America, it may be possible to take an actual, fairly luxurious cruise.

Do make sure that the size of your room on the boat is what you fully understand. If you are hoping to have any romantic action in your cabin it would be good to know ahead of time that you and your partner each have a small bunk and these bunks are not on the same wall.

Do find out ahead of time if you and your partner can stand up in the same room on the boat. Consider other options if the answer is no.

Don't leave without checking more than once to make sure you have Your luggage. Even though you carefully packed All the luggage, did Yours actually make it to the boat? If not you will have a fantastic time with no changes of clothing and nothing warmer than a sweatshirt. Before you leave, make sure you have your luggage.

Don't get on a boat where the crew is planning on having a lot of assistance from you and the rest of the paying customers. Pulling in ropes or doing your own dishes are examples of such things.

Don't assume that in the brochure, everything will be outlined. Will you ever go onto land during this excursion or will you just ride around and around on the boat being quite sure you've seen that same shoreline five times in three days. What you can do is ask the boat crew if you will see any sea creatures promised and ask about the island lobster bake.

Don't even think about planning on real bathroom facilities but you do need to ask where the shower is.

Don't even think of taking this kind of boat trip if you don't like small spaces. Not only is the berth area minuscule, there is no other place to play games or cards except the galley, also tiny and often being used to fix the meals.

Do consider this boat trip if you enjoy working while on a very expensive vacation in the smallest accommodations imaginable while possibly seeing no sea life and not eating promised lobster!
