Keeping it Cool

I've been concentrating on the need for an air conditioner on the boat, but recently came to realize that another very important element might be even more important. The ability to breathe at night because of the humidity on the water is what made me realize that a dehumidifier might be an even better first step. The heavy-duty fans do a good job of circulating the air and making it cool enough, but even then it is hard to breathe sometimes. Being directly on the water doesn't help the overall humidity problem in the cabin of the boat. Fans and air conditioners don't really do much to combat that problem so even if it were cooled down to the 70's it would still be stuffy and sticky. They make dehumidifiers that are very compact and would fit in the small spaces we have available on the boat.
