  • Receiving a much needed storm with some rain; calling for some high winds; a real noise maker. #
  • And so I wonder, "Skippers, what's your advice on how to handle a Bay squall?" #

Read what a new study has to say! http://www.nortonyachts.com/blog/boating-may-actually-extend-your-life-read-what-a-new-study-has-to-say/ http://www.nortonyachts.com/blog/boating-may-actually-extend-your-life-read-what-a-new-study-has-to-say/#comments Thu, 22 Jul 2010 21:17:11 +0000 cschmalenberger http://www.nortonyachts.com/?p=1634 Scientists doing research on longevity have found that people are happier when they take two or three short vacations each year, rather than one long one. Apparently, people are happier when they anticipate a reward than after they’ve received it.  The research was published in the Applied Research in Quality of Life Journal.

    Owning a boat gives you a vacation every weekend.  Right?  And, that can mean better health and longer life.  Health and lifestyle are inextricably linked. Lots of new discoveries are being made about the relationship between health and lifestyle.

    Boating is a desirable lifestyle that provides happy family recreation and relaxation. And, now, researchers say the beginning of the aging process is actually being postponed by years for those who live a happy lifestyle. Moreover, when these people finally reach old age, they’re in better health.

    The boating lifestyle benefits can significantly improve the outlook for living a healthy life, even at an advanced age.  People who go boating have made a choice to adopt a positive lifestyle that helps extend good health into advanced age and to live longer.

    In summary, buy a boat……. live happier and longer!  If you’ve already got a boat, use it more!
