Boating Contributes to Better Health?

I thought this would be an interesting topic to discuss. A recent study showed that non-boaters have poorer health than boat owners. Boat owners showed to have higher satisfaction on the quality of their life.

Any links to that study? Maybe I can use it to show my boss that I'm definitely going to need the summer off.

Good article. Starts to make a case for a boat being a medical expense.
Shhh! I always thought that boats were just fun.

Maybe this is why I've been feeling sick lately?! I must be well overdue for a dose of boating! Good thing I'm sailing to Catalina next weekend!
