I am still new to the group and do not yet have a boat, but I do have some questions for those who sleep aboard for a few nights in southern waters during the summer. (Alabama, Florida, etc.) 1. How do you keep from roasting at night? 2. How do you keep out mosquitos? (without roasting) 3. With lightning storms just about every afternoon or evening, (Pensacola area) how do you stay safe with a metal mast up in the air? Do you ever take it down while on the water during storms? Or do you beach on a barrier island and get off the water? 4. Is staying on board still realistic in a day-long rain? I am used to camping in a campground near Pensacola, where a good tent, and perhaps a fan in the tent at night solves most of the above issues. I am still considering a Montgomery 15, but want to be sure it won't turn out to be miserable instead of wonderful spending a few nights on board.
