Message From The Editor
Take a moment, please
The bumper sticker slogan “Have you hugged your boat today” has gone from meme to top of mind thought as we put the covers on and hunker down for the winter.

It’s no secret to most of us that your boat defines you to your friends and to your own identity.
This summer, although cruising destinations were off limits and guests were limited and masked, we found ourselves more than ever aboard the boat. You likely had the same experience because, sadly, there were very few options. As a result, we became very excited about sitting in the cockpit, going out for the occasional trip to nowhere and spending a weekend aboard at our own dock. The little things became big things and the boat was even more important than ever.
