5 easy ways to

to relax and recharge on a boat this summer Looking to get away from the daily grind this summer? The answer may be to leave your stress on land and take those summer plans on the water. Four in five Americans say being around water relaxes them, and 72 percent feel healthier after spending time on the water, according to a Discover Boating survey.

Americans are working longer hours, dealing with stress and constantly connected to technology, with just 46 percent taking their full vacation time, according to Project Time Off’s 2017 study, The State of American Vacation.

One easy solution? Get on the water and go boating. Whether close to home or on vacation, being on, in or near the water is good for you. In fact, the human brain consists of 75 percent water, so when you see or hear water it triggers the brain to react positively, according to Dr. Wallace J. Nichols, marine biologist and author of Blue Mind, a bestselling novel on the scientific connection between water and happiness.

What’s more, boating is more accessible than you may think. In fact, more than 142 million Americans go boating each year, according to the National Marine Manufacturers Association.

“Modern technology can make it more difficult to fully disconnect and relax, and boating is one of the few activities that can take you away from daily distractions to a place where you can reconnect with friends and family, relax and enjoy the

Charter a trip Explore new waters and experience the boating lifestyle by chartering a boat trip with family or friends. Chartering offers several options – bareboat (with no captain) or crewed (with captain and crew), and can be as short as a few days or weeks long. Pick your preferences and get your feet wet.

A trip out on the lake with a loved one will give you time to reconnect.

Top: Spending a day out on the water is a great way to relax and recharge your batteries. Whether you’re swimming, fishing, jet skiing, sailing or just taking a leisurely spin around the lake, the sunshine and water will brighten the day.

outdoors,” says Carl Blackwell, president of Discover Boating.

There are easy ways to get on the water, no matter where you are or whether your interests lie in fishing, watersports, sailing, personal watercraft or simply cruising with loved ones. Use these five tips to help you find your way on the water this summer.

Join a boat club Find a boat club near you to access a versatile fleet of boats. You’ll pay a monthly fee and be able to book your time on the water online. Most boat clubs take care of docking, cleaning and maintenance, with members responsible for fuel. Plus,

most offer boat-training courses as part of the membership.

Rent a boat Rental options are available on most waterways and provide hourly, daily or weekly access to a variety of boat types.

Rental outfitters give tutorials on operating a boat, share safety instructions and offer suggestions on destinations. Another rental option new to market is peer-to-peer rentals, where you can locate boats online by entering your zip code, allowing you to rent someone else’s boat, which usually includes insurance and captains for hire to help you set sail.

Sign up for a boating lesson to hone your powerboating, sailing or watersports skills by mastering the basics while having fun along the way. On-water training courses, watersports camps, youth boating programs and more are offered across the country.

Float your own boat Chart your own course to boat ownership by visiting DiscoverBoating. com, where you’ll find a boat selector and loan calculator tool to help determine your budget and identify types of boats that fit your lifestyle and interests. Once you’ve narrowed down your search, the site can connect you with manufacturers whose boats best fit your needs and wants.

Get off the dock and climb aboard a boat this summer by using DiscoverBoating. com’s Go Boating Today interactive tool – just enter your zip code to find boat clubs, rentals or charters close to home.

The lake beckons Gage offers tips for getting boats back on the water

By Heather Ruenz STAFF WRITER

The top priority in preparation for a safe boating season this spring and summer is preventative maintenance, according to service staff at Gage Marine.

“Preventative maintenance is No. 1, such as oil changes, engine tune-ups, servicing the drive and changing the impeller if needed.

The impeller cools the engine when it’s running,” said Matt Oglesby, marine services manager at Gage Marine.

In the spring, in addition to maintenance Oglesby said activating a boat – after it’s been winterized – is necessary to get it ready for boating season.

“One thing we do with every boat after maintenance and activation is a lake test with a certified technician to make sure everything is operating as it should and is safe,” Oglesby said.

The lake test consists of watching for water leaks on the engine and hoses, he said. Included in the activation is checking all the 12-volt accessories such as navigation lights, the horn, the bilge pump and bilge blower.

“It’s all about people being safe on the water,” Oglesby said.

Though not essential to a boat operating properly, he said taking care of cosmetic issues not only makes the boat look better but can make it last longer.

“People can wax it, shampoo the carpets and use a vinyl cleaner for the inside,” Oglesby said. “The lakes in this area also leave water spots, and white vinegar is good for removing those.”

Boats that have bottom paint and stay in the water also need to be painted periodically, he said, because that protects the hull and deteriorates over time.

Gage Marine also stores and maintains sailboats, with much of the work similar to what’s done on powerboats, said Jim Molick, assistant service manager.

“Where it’s different is the masts have to be put up and the sails put on,” Molick said. “We do that on the lakefront and will put in

new sails and new lines and make sure everything is secure.”

Molick said some customers take care of those things themselves, but Gage handles almost all of the rigging.

The service staff at Gage Marine is willing to teach customers how to take care of maintenance tasks on their boats, and Oglesby said September is a good time of year for that.

Service plans offered

In addition to what Oglesby referred to as “a la carte” maintenance – smaller jobs, as needed – Gage Marine offers two maintenance plans: One includes the mechanical maintenance and the second also includes cosmetic maintenance.

Gage also services boat trailers, including inspecting the brakes and bearings, lights, bunks or rollers, and the hitch and latch.

“Those things are important, not only legally like the tail and brake lights, but also for safety reasons,” Oglesby said.

The canvas cover is another key item in keeping the boat in good shape, he said.

“It keeps the water out of the boat and helps prevent mold and mildew while keeping the sun off the upholstery,” Oglesby said. “A boat canvas will usually last about six to 10 years, depending on the color of the canvas and where the boat is located. But if it’s outside all year, a canvas might only last a few years.”

Staff at Gage Marine will make service calls to boaters on the water or at their personal dock if need be.

“We’ll go out and help with lighter mechanical work, like changing a battery, but if it’s something major we tow it back to our shop,” Molick said.

Gage Marine also helps get wood boats in the water – which is an entirely different process than other boats, particularly the older models.

“There is no bare wood, so the elements can’t touch it,” Oglesby said. “The engine is similar, but the boats have to be stored in the winter in proper humidity

HEATHER RUENZ The Breeze

Jim Molick (left), assistant service manager at Gage Marine, and Matt Oglesby, marine services manager, stand in front of a Chris Craft boat in the showroom at the Delavan location. They said preventative engine maintenance and proper activation of a boat after winter, such as making sure all accessories are operating properly, are important in helping ensure boaters have a safe season on the lake.

conditions.

“In the spring, some wood boats need to be soaked in the water so the wood can swell back up. It can take one day up to a week,” Molick added.

“One of the worst things would be to launch a boat that needed to be soaked because it’ll probably sink,” Oglesby said.

Oglesby and Molick recommend that boat owners take their watercraft to dealers authorized to work on the type of engine the boat has to ensure maintenance and repairs are done properly.

The engines serviced by Gage include outboards by Mercury, Evinrude and Yamaha; inboard/ outboards by Volvo Penta and MerCruiser; and inboards by Ilmor and Indmar. Gage sells Boston Whaler, Bennington, Mastercraft,

Chris Craft and Monterey boats.

The final tip Oglesby and Molick offered is a reminder to have the proper safety equipment onboard, including a working fire extinguisher, a life jacket for each person and an approved, throwable device.

“The goal is to make sure customers have a fun, safe season,” Molick said.

“And make memories for a lifetime,” Oglesby added.

Rich history

Gage Marine launched the original Lady of the Lake on Geneva Lake in 1873, and before the road system was installed, the company’s boats were the best option for lakefront homeowners and visitors to get to homes and various resorts, according to the

website.

In 1916, the cruise line arm of Gage Marine purchased property in Williams Bay as a service and winter storage facility for its fleet.

Soon, owners began bringing their boats in for service.

In 1958, the Gage family bought the excursion business and kicked the marina facility into high gear. In the 1960s, the company introduced the first indoor storage facility in the area, and about a decade later it brought the only travel lift to the lake.

Gage Marine has two locations – 1 Leichty Drive in Williams Bay and 5167 Wisconsin Highway 50, Delavan. The latter includes the service department.

winning superstar. He will present “An Evening of Love Songs” with the Chicago Philharmonic under artistic director Scott Speck. Gunn has performed in international opera houses and as a distinguished soloist with symphony orchestras worldwide.

The New York Times writes: “Nathan Gunn commands an operatic baritone whose mighty heft and richness confer an outsize authority on everything it touches.”

Gunn has appeared in opera houses such as the Metropolitan Opera,

San Francisco Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Royal Opera House and Paris Opera. He supports new works and has created roles in 21st century operas most recently collaborating with teams at the Pittsburgh Opera, with Beth Morrison Projects and with some of today’s leading and cutting-edge composers.

Family events

Events for the family include Ralph’s World at 4 p.m. July 29 and a community showcase with the

Lake Geneva Symphony Orchestra at 4 p.m. June 24.

Ralph’s World features indie rocker Ralph Covert and his band with high-energy tunes and a silly atmosphere. Covert transforms his former band’s original songs with fun, age-appropriate lyrics that will have the kids dancing and laughing.

Before venturing into the kidfriendly music circuit, Covert was a member of the Chicago-based rock ‘n’ roll band the Bad Examples.

In addition to making music and touring his live children’s show,

Covert is a songwriter, playwright and children’s book author.

The Lake Geneva Symphony Orchestra will present an afternoon of movie music for the entire family. The orchestra performs the scores to award-winning films such as “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Forrest Gump,” “Superman,” “Lord of the Rings,” “Frozen,” “Gladiator” and “Star Wars.” Now in its 18th season, the Lake Geneva Symphony Orchestra, under the leadership of music director David Anderson and concertmaster

Lisa Gauslow, boasts musicians from southeastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois.

Location

All events are performed in the Ferro Pavilion on the campus of George Williams College of Aurora University in Williams Bay. Performances take place rain or shine. Free parking and shuttle service for all events are located close to campus at Williams Bay High School at 500 W. Geneva St., in Williams Bay.
