You do get too tired to make really good decisions -- and for me it gets worse with age. But it is the same for me as freeway driving after a long day. We want to go with the two of us. The close friends we have have their own boats. Usually they do not have the time to go with someone else or they want to take their own boat. I do not care for pick up crew (unknown crew) or professionals. But everyone has to do it their own way. I sometimes wish I could be more laid back and sociable.
