Keep Your Cool
Who doesn’t like a nice, cool drink on a hot summer aft ernoon, especially while lazing in the cockpit, catching rays, and feeling the tickle of the sea breeze? The tinkle of cubes in the glass (probably plastic, but still), the sweat of condensation on an icy can, the fizz of cold carbonation in a parched throat: These are all joys of summer, and of boating. But without a convenient source of cold—a nearby cooler, mini-fridge, or even a bucket of ice— these joys will be less enjoyable, disturbed by the occasional need to mosey into the galley to fetch another cold one. Who needs that? You could twist an ankle on the companionway steps! Instead, make your boat safer and more lounge-friendly by adding cockpit refrigeration. It’s easier than you think.
