Pontoon Diving Boards and Thanksgiving
As far as holidays go, Thanksgiving is the best. Of course, it would be so much better if we could spend it on a boat. Just imagine carving a turkey while on your boat. Thanksgiving isn’t really considered a boating holiday, but as you and your family gather around the table to celebrate the holiday, there are plenty of reasons for boaters to give thanks.
If you are a boater, you should take a minute to reflect on how thankful you are for being able to enjoy boating. Lillipad Marine, your source for pontoon diving boards, offers reasons for boaters to be thankful this Thanksgiving.
Great Therapy
You can go see your therapist when you are feeling down, it costs you about $200 an hour. But when you are feeling blue, you choose to take a boat trip. Relaxing on your boat, soaking up the sun while sipping a cold beverage and reading a book, is so much better than talking to a therapist.
Think about what you do on your boat, the activities are all either fun or relaxing or both. Boating gives you the change to recharge and put your life in perspective. This is when you conclude that life is pretty good if you own a boat.
Green Boating
Over the years, boats have become much more environmentally friendly. Many manufacturers are using vacuum infusion, which is a cleaner boat-building process. Modern boats are also considerably lighter, so they get better gas mileage. These lighter boats leave a smaller carbon footprint and save you money on gas as well.
Boating is Getting Easier
There used to be plenty of hurdles you had to jump to become a boater, but that has changed in recent years. As boats are being built to be more user-friendly, more and more people find it easier to become boaters.
Things like joystick drives mean that docking a boat is no longer a frightening experience. And anybody can navigate with a GPS system on your boat. Modern boats are even equipped with backup cameras, so boating is much like driving the family SUV.
Smart Boats
Just as land vehicles are being built with smart technology, boats are too. Modern boats can be accessed with your smartphone. So you can turn on the lights on your boat as you are walking down the dock.
Safe Boats
Boat manufacturers are building safer boats that make boating for the mobility-challenged and kids easier. Stabilization systems have become smaller and more affordable, making smaller boats more stable so everybody can stay on their feet.
Hydraulic swim platforms are becoming standard on a lot of boats, so there is no need to use a heavy and cumbersome adder to lift swimmers out of the water.
Versatile Boats
Boats are as versatile as ever, meaning there are more things you can do while boating. For example, you can sail a kayak or waterski behind a pontoon boat. The rules have been relaxed for what you can do on your boat.
Friends and Family
In our faced-paced world, it is difficult to find time to spend with family and friends. Whether you are out for some fishing, cruising the islands or just catching some rays, boats are a reason family and friends get together.
Boating brings people together, it is the glue that binds.
