IIRC, go no more than 5 knots in the yacht basin to minimize wakes. But an idiot speed demon in the channel can still churn up boats in slips, even deep keel sailboats.

I’m strictly ashore now, but when I was younger I used to dream of A/C systems for boats that didn’t cost a fortune like Marinaire.

LOL, one of their ads went, “The captain stood on the burning deck. It was too d@mned hot in the cabin!”

I remember when power boats looked like boats and not imperial starships. I google “Owens yacht images” & take a walk down memory lane. Oh, well.

Where we are we’re pretty lucky that it doesn’t usually get that hot. Yeah you can’t escape from the heat on a boat. We had a week of really hot temps here this last summer. Was 90 degrees in here. I actually drove to Lowes and walked up and down every aisle just to get cool. lol
Made me think about buying a small window unit to set in the companionway for just those days.
