Perfect for mini "stay-cations"

Beach trips and BBQ ! We run down to one of the local beaches, here in the NY Harbor area, anchor off the shore and make a day of it! Jump on the paddleboards, float on the mats, walk the sandy shore, get some sun up on the bow or lounge in the cockpit shade. It is an easy, yet amazing vacation from the city.
