We use our fatties mostly in summer now. We like to load them up with coolers and ice, and shade gear and pedal out on the sand spits where no one else can go. We set up our sun shades and coolers full of beers and water, and lunch, and set about to enjoy the day into the evening enjoying the surf and the fishing and the sea. Winter? Snow? Not so much. Winter was made for sipping hot toddys and clam chowder and watching the snow falling from INSIDE the house.
