Two weeks ago I had a lumpectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer. The instructions after my surgery included being very careful not to lift anything heavier than five pounds with my affected arm for at least a month. That includes using my arm own to assist in hoisting my body on and off the boat. Hmmmm...so how to get on and off the boat? Breeze On has gates on each side but our single finger pier is too short to reach the gate. That means I have to step over the life lines to get on the boat. I normally put one foot on the boat, grab the bimini supports, pull the rest of my body over to the boat and step over the life lines while squeezing under the bimini. The farther Breeze On is from the dock, the harder I have to pull. In any case, I am quite certain I put more than five pounds of pressure on my arm when getting on and off. So what is the answer? A GANGPLANK (otherwise known as a passerelle). A friend of a friend recently sold her boat and not longer needed hers. Pa
