Not quite "there" yet (planned Spring departure), we have thoughts but don't
know how certain things will play out later.
For example, we plan to spend most of our time at anchor. We also hope that
we will take at least daily trips to shore if for no other reason that to
walk the dog and stretch our legs. (There are three of us plus a large dog.)
But I'm curious to hear from others who stay at anchor most of the time...
how often do you go aboard? I wonder if the "dinghy process" (lowering it,
loading into it, traveling, finding a place to beach/dock it, etc...) is
cumbersome to the point that it prevents most people from going ashore any
more than necessary for supplies, washing, etc..?
I suppose one of many impacting factors would be the size of the dink -
needs to be large enough to comfortable fit 2 adults, 1 child, and a large
dog -- any doing this who can say just how large is "enough"?
Any comments from the group on the above or other things we should consider
are appreciated as always.
thx!
Brad
