I am in West Palm for new years however boat is winterized in NJ. I'm sitting here watching boats go by on the inter-coastal and thinking how nice it would be to take a new years day cruise. I am definitely considering bringing the boat down here next winter. Anyone ever travel from the North East to Fla??

If it counts for me sitting on mine Walt, then brushing the snow off has to count too....

All was good at mine. No critters and plenty dry!!!!!

We were lucky enough to celebrate onboard with 6 friends in Singapore. Being pretty much on the equator winter and summer are both pretty much summer.
The government spends quit a bit on fireworks so I applied to have the boat hoisted from the sea over the barrage (dam wall) into the marina where the fireworks show took place. We had a good night although being the 1st time Id been at sea for 8hrs and not moving we ran out of power...It was not too much of a big deal as the music from the shore was louder than our stereo anyway. Annoyingly the genset cut out after about 2mins (is there a fuel line switch I need to flick before starting her up?). Running the engine for a few minutes sorted the problem. Once the guests left we passed out only to wake up to having too little power to raise the anchor... I finally got it up after running the engine for a few minutes. Thankfully she started.

Anyway considering the above it was still a great night. Happy NY!

That's got to be one of the coolest places to boat.
