If you love the nautical life, chances are that you’re going to be making some boating resolutions along with all the other hopes and plans you have set for the new year ahead. As you prepare to say goodbye to a year that may have given you several challenges as well as many reasons to celebrate, make a list of things you want to achieve that will ensure that you have a better and happier year ahead, especially while out on the water!
Spend more time on your boat!
If you own a boat or have constant access to one, this resolution should be a given. For a boater who enjoys their time out on the water, you should make a promise to yourself to do more of what you love. Often, individuals may push back things they enjoy to fit in other commitments of daily life. This new year, learn to unplug and take the time to leave all your stress behind when you hit the water. Whether you want to enjoy some fishing trips on your own to get some much deserved me-time or want to bond better with family and friends away from the daily environment, boating more frequently has so many advantages for your mental and physical well-being.
Take a trip to a new place
Sure, returning to your favorite spots is always something to look forward to while you are out at sea or heading to your frequented lakes, but how about making this the year where you sail somewhere that you’ve never explored before. It could be a long-distance trip or somewhere not too far out - but take the plunge and head out to seek an adventure.
Learn a new skill
If you spend a lot of time on your boat and are looking to do something engaging related to it, why not learn a new skill? You could learn how to tie knots, which is useful and fun to learn for any boater or if you’ve just been sailing so far, perhaps this is the year you pick up fishing as well. Whatever your passion may be, there is always so much to learn and it’s no different if you are a boater.
Better care for your boat
With all your other commitments in the way, you may have been delaying and postponing the proper cleaning and maintenance requirements that your boat may need. This new year, make a promise to yourself and to your dear vessel that you will treat it better and give it the love and care that it deserves. Thorough cleaning, pending repairs, a new coat of paint – there are so many things to keep in mind for your boat’s maintenance.
