You may sail in Newport, San Diego, or Bermuda. Or go ocean-racing in Miami or Catalina. Whether you go yachting in Nantucket or Lake of the Ozarks, or just like to cruise along on a nearby river or lake, this is the time of year for boating!

Don’t forget to always have the freezer stocked with plenty of ice, have your favorite libations at the helm and some basic staples. You’ll be ready to shove off with your maties even if you are a landlubber! ~ Karen
