i love being in a slip.
nevermind that you might get a couple wierd looks towing an 11' wide boat down the freeway

it's close.
the boat's always ready.
i can call the office if i'm running late and they'll tow it over to the fuel dock for me and fill 'er up,even ice me down, then bill me later.
lot's of nice people in my marina. if you need a cheeseburger or a beer when you get back, someone allways has one at the ready.
many liveaboards in my place to keep an eye on things.
hot showers, laundry, clean sh*tter.
if the wife want's to go fishing, we usually just show up at the marina and she will find a nice comfy seat on someone elses air-conditioned boat while i go fishing

nevermind all the kids who keep the bait cars filled with stuff they catch on the docks

it's all good
