Re: Overnight In A Cuddy Cabin?
How many others I can't say, but here's the unvarnished truth for one 65 year old couple. Our boat is 25' and, in our 40's and 50's, the admiral and I would liveaboard with ease for 3-4 consecutive nights. During the same time frame, two buddies and I would spend up to 10 days living on board during extended fishing trips into remote areas. Times have changed however. At this point, "roughing it" has become so uncomfortable that much of the fun is gone. After a couple of nights onboard, we feel we need a hotel. Having fished on friend's 23 footers, I find their cuddy cabins too small to overnight. If I can't stand up in the cabin without hitting my head, it's a no go, period. I think your hesitancy to subject yourself to the cramped quarters of your cabin is reasonable, not that you shouldn't do it, but understand that we "geezers" have to know our limitations.
Ok, what we are really wondering is........how many older couplses (our age bracket:60 plus) have/had a cuddy and sleep in it?
