Hey, I care, and I'm with ya!
While you live in sunny Florida (hey, isn't it possible to go boating year round down there?!?!), living in Canada only affords us perhaps 3 months a year to enjoy our watercraft... so when the season finally arrives, it's been highly anticipated.
While I don't personally own a boat (yet), my parents own a cabin-cruiser that they keep docked at a yacht-club about 45 minutes outside of Toronto. My parents enjoy spending the weekend at the club with their friends, and I generally go up often to join them for a day in the sun and on the water. There's nothing like bringing a nice book with you to read while the boat is anchored in the middle of the lake.
Several of my parents' friends usually meet them at a certain spot, and they tie the boats together and make food, have a couple of drinks, and generally enjoy the experience.
You know, I'm actually considering a permanent move to Florida in the future, just because of things like this which can't be taken advantage of up here in the great white north. Consider yourself lucky.
Moe.
