What's the one creature comfort you can't go without on your boat?.
I've just installed an airconditioner. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a game changer up here during the buildup / wet this season.

Definitely the change from esky to fridge for drinks and food. But agree the deck wash is right up there as an essential piece of kit as well. About to pull the trigger on an anchor winch, guessing that will likely take the mantle once it's in.

No creature comforts in my tub but the deck wash is a must.
