Even on the quietest days, there is an underlying tension and chaos that affects pretty much every aspect of our lives. We can never seem to entirely get away from the vibrations that bring us anxiety, unless, as we at Carefree Boat Club have discovered, we are out on a boat in the middle of the water, which seems to prove that chaos stops at the shoreline, especially in San Diego. Today, we want to talk about the wonderful benefits of boating in San Diego, about how unplugging is just easier when sitting at the helm of a boat, and how being a member of the Carefree Boat Club will make it even easier to bring your soul the peace it deserves.
Unplug And Go Boating in San Diego
Every minute of your life, with the exception of the ones in which you are sleeping, seems to have you attached to one screen or another. Your computer screen at work, your laptop screen at home, your phone just about anywhere, and even a tablet which has become the most popular way of reading. The negative consequences are legendary, ranging from obesity to muscle strain, even to mental health issues and depression, but when you are on a boat, the only screen you will be attached to may be the radar screen you are using to catch fish. There is no internet on the ocean (not without a lot of expense) and the San Diego sunshine can make it difficult to read your Kindle, so we suggest leaving it behind to enjoy a day of sunshine and sea life.
Being Present
How often do you really listen to the people in your life? Even if your phone is face down and your laptop is closed, in the back of your mind you are remembering a million things that need to be done and the words that are being spoken may be nothing more than unintelligible sounds playing background music to your thoughts. On the boat, however, not only are you required to pay attention to the world around you, you know you can’t start dinner in the next 15 minutes and the laundry pile is as out of sight as it is out of mind, leaving you free to live completely in the moment, actively listening to your children as they talk about adventures you may have missed if you were still at home.
Goodbye Stress
There has actually been research done that shows the repetitive nature of the water and the sounds of sea and nature can lower your stress while reducing the hormone (cortisol) that causes stress, and whether you are zipping around the bay pulling your family on innertubes or have anchored in the middle of nowhere, pole in hand, cooler at your side, the feeling that overcomes your body (yes, that would be calmness) can heal all that is broken within you!
Serene in Your Solitude
We humans have forgotten what it is like to be alone and although we spend much of our time on land seeking company in the form of television, friends, even books, out here on the water, it is just you, the boat, and Mother Nature. Maybe you will catch glimpses of a school of dolphins frolicking in the water, or the call of seagulls crying out for food will be your companion, but underneath it all there will be a serenity that can only be found in accepting your solitude, rediscovering the you that has been buried under too many activities, too much noise, and not enough alone time.
Good for Your Mental Health
As you can tell, we have put a lot of thought and effort into why boating in San Diego is the best way to unplug, and our research has uncovered that boating is excellent for your mental health. Studies show that increased serotonin levels, extra Vitamin D, and staying active on the boat will improve your mental health while also rejuvenating your mind and body. Some would go as far as to say that you don’t just feel younger after a day on one of our Carefree Boat Club vessels, you will look younger as well, and we doubt you will have anything negative to say about that!
So Why Are You Hesitating?
We get it, too much of a good thing may seem to be a bad thing, but a membership in the Carefree Boat Club offers all the benefits listed above without costing an arm and leg. Boat ownership comes with its own stresses and worries, and we are attempting to get past stress, so there is no need to continue with your hesitation. After paying your initial fee and then the annual fee, you are free to get on the water as much as possible, experiencing all the benefits of unplugging while leaving boat ownership headaches to us.
