Every day for the last 20 days has been over 100 degrees and more of the same to come because it's summer. It doesn't feel so bad when cruising on the water, so we still get out 3-4 days per week.
Even 103F isn't enough to keep us inside all day. Maybe that will change when I get old

but sometimes you just gotta sit outside when in the breeze and read. No beers were injured but several may have been consumed.
Life is good in the cheap seats!

Nice! We do the same, pull into a cove and float around on the big fat pool noodles, or the rollup float.

Nice! we had a great day on Saturday but Sunday sucked. Spun prop wind shoved is into gravel by dock (no reverse) then motored to beach and melted the screw post on positive battery, so weird. was able to start and get it back eventually sounds like it may have been lose connection... and had to cut an anchor lose stuck in the trees.

Well, that's a sucky series of events!
