or boaters in this country, every

day
counts. To
make the most of your on-the-water
experience, getting organized in advance
is critical.
You can't perfect the entire season in
one session, so we suggest one month
at a time is optimal. July, the upcoming
month, is a great opportunity to plan your
boating and meet your social obligations,
with a stress-free look at the upcoming 31
days.
First step, schedule guests. These divide
into a number of sub categories: close
friends, relatives, business obligations,
neighbours, people who randomly saw a
photo of your boat and whom you invited.
" We'll take you for a spin this summer for
sure. " You can, carefully, mix and match
guests although political or inter-family
screaming matches can potentially disrupt
your dockmates. Tread carefully.
The array of guest invitations, once
noted on the calendar, may indicate that
your desire to show off the boat has gone
a bit far. But never mind... on to the second
step.
Some folks feel it's important to do
laundry, even in the summer.
Let's allocate
alternate Tuesday afternoons (special
note - that means underwear x 14) but not
on long weekends for obvious reasons.
And let's be realistic - life goes on.
Dentist and vet appointments can be
scheduled

PHRF fun.
We have purposely left the last few
days of July empty - this is the time for
the annual summer cruise. The calendar
with life events begins to look very busy,
but we are not done yet.
and
noon. Sometimes those practitioners are
busy and suggest other days. That's the
problem - they just don't get it. And yes,
the boat needs a survey for insurance
but the only day we can accommodate is
Friday the 12th. But the surveyor can't
make it... how about the 8th?
Normally, Friday is provisioning for the
weekend. Monday clean-up and pump out
after the weekend guests and occasionally
attention to fuel, minor repairs and
washing the dish cloths. Even if you're a
cruiser, racers invite crew and you know

Even the best-made plans sometimes
need minor adjustments. Arrangements
change, unexpected relatives drop in. You
know the drill.
The calendar draft in the picture above
shows that July is getting pretty crowded.
Try to keep calm. The guests are excited,
the catering plans are in place, life is
scheduled and it's way too late to change.
That's just one month but you can
relate to the rest of the calendar, I am
sure. Perhaps if the climate was better, the
days longer. But loving your boat won't
schedule itself. Work?
Excellent question
- we'll fi t that in. But so far things
look pretty good and it will be a cracking
summer onboard.
