Request for Advice, Coastal Camp Cruising

[Andy B]

Don, I think you're making the right choice with the whole-boat tent and your point about organization is spot-on.  I've done more land camping than boat camping, but when I was out on the boat I realized how much mental energy I was expending trying to remember where everything is.  I think it's because, like you, I had to move everything from its sailing location to its camping location.  That thing you need isn't where it was for the past 10 hours of sailing, and the boat is only 20 feet long, where can it be, WHY AM I SO STUPID AND THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN!?

@Andy B— Thanks for the feedback.  I just keep looking at all those Roger Barnes videos.  He looks so snug in his little housie.  Doesn’t need to go outside to make coffee or anything.  I just need to work on my sewing technique.  It’s gonna take at least one zipper.  Hmm…

I’ll still give this set-up a try next summer…

 

even though I’m receiving this boat on Sunday.

 

Don, I think you’ll like what you come up with in making a longer tent-covering.
