New gear: Sleepless Summer Nights

Breeze Bandit

“Why do I always wake up in the middle of the night in a sweat?” Yes, admittedly it is hot on the boat especially when we are staying at a dock as the hatches just don’t seem to let enough air in. My friend told me about a cool invention called a Breeze Bandit that drives the wind down your hatches, regardless of the direction of the wind.

“Why do I always wake up in the middle of the night in a sweat?”

Yes, admittedly it is hot on the boat especially when we are staying at a dock as the hatches just don’t seem to let enough air in. My friend told me about a cool invention called a Breeze Bandit that drives the wind down your hatches, regardless of the direction of the wind.

“It was about the same height as me (6 ft), snaps into your hatch and attaches to a halyard”, I knew I wanted one! Every wind scoop I had ever seen had been designed to let the wind in from the bow when at anchor but not at the dock when the wind comes from all directions when the boat doesn’t move. No more sleepless sweaty nights! Find a retailer at Indie Marine so you can enjoy cool nights too.

Dockside Dining: Frind Winery

I’m a boater – I always take friends and visitors to Frind when we’re on the boat.

Frind Winery is the perfect place for boaters to go for lunch or dinner in the Kelowna area.  You can tie up on the dock or beach your pontoon on the spacious beach. 

Frind has an Italian style brick pizza oven for gourmet pizzas and a great selection of other menu items.  You can eat on the patio, at a picnic table, on the beach, or on the lawn. You can also get your order to go and enjoy your meal out on the lake.
