Great advice. One we play on our boat, kids and used-to-be-kids alike, is "Sail Number Rummy." Spot other boats, spot the sail numbers, add em up, either individually or in combos. first person to 200, 500, or 1000 (depending upon attention span and/or passage length.) For adults, whenever anybody spotted a combo that equalled our sail number (or a multiple of our sail number), everyone not on the helm had to throw down a shot.
When adults play, it is funny to watch math nerds become drunks... oh, who am i kidding, it is definitely drunks pretending to be math nerds.
