Tim’s Tip #1
Well, this is actually Miranda’s tip-and is all about not using your car rack for boat storage. We see a lot of people leave their boat on longer than necessary, and the result is it puts a lot of stress on the hull. Get it off as soon as you can and you’ll avoid some ugly dents in your pride and joy.

Tip #2
Sunner intoxication without alcohol! (Doesn’t sound like much fun does it?) Sometimes we overhydrate in the summer heat, trying to cool ourselves. Trouble is, the water sits in the stomach and can’t be processed quickly enough. Result - we get nauseous, and to add insult - the water does little to cool your core. So….do keep hydrated moderately, but equally important is to cool your core externally by stopping what you’re doing, get out of the sun and applying a cool,wet cloth to your skin. Or better yet - go for a swim and then find a good book in the shade.
