By the time July rolls around in
Gulfport Florida the thought of cruising to a secluded gunkhole somewhere is not the first thing that comes to mind.
Sure, if you have a large boat equipped with an air conditioner you can waddle over to a marina, jump in the pool - northern folks call these things hot tubs I believe - to get wet and hope the sea breeze cools you off a bit before you call it a day and retreat to conditioned air.

HideAway's Natural Air Conditioner |
If you're lucky you have a small boat like HideAway, a Compac 23, with a Swing From the Hook Natural Air Conditioning System. On a very hot day the wind scoop may not provide relief.

HideAway's Natural AC Set on HIGH |
Fortunately, another method is readily available to the Florida Summer Sailor. It requires little set up and is far more exciting than a dip in a hot pool.
Notice how calm and serene this scene is - Then have a look at the video below shot minutes later!
SMALL BOATS ROCK!
