For many of us who call the shores of the Chesapeake Bay home, our greatest stress relievers are our boats. Sure, every once in a while you hear from a naysayer (“The two happiest days of my life were the day I bought my boat...and the day I sold it.”)
For the rest of us, the Bay and boating are very reasons we live here. And it may turn out to be a reason we live longer.
The stress relieving properties in boating may be best illustrated by a list we recently saw, from BoatUS, of the 10 most popular boat names:
1. Serenity
2. Seas the Day
3. Andiamo (Italian for “let's go”)
4. Aquaholic
5. Second Wind
6. Island Time
7. Happy Ours
8. Journey
9. Serendipity
10. Relentless
