The Secret to Beating the Heat at EAA AirVenture? A Cruise on the Water
Wisconsin summers can be brutal, and AirVenture week is no exception—here’s how to cool off in style while still soaking in the action.
Let’s talk about something every AirVenture veteran knows—it gets hot.
Between the sun beating down on the flightline, the long walks between exhibits, and the lack of shade, the July heat in Oshkosh is no joke. And while you can grab a lemonade and duck into a hangar for a little relief, there’s a much better way to cool off…
A boat cruise.
Why a Boat is the Best Way to Beat the Heat During AirVenture
1. The Water is Always Cooler
There’s something about being on the water that instantly lowers the temperature. Maybe it’s the breeze off the lake, maybe it’s the refreshing splash of water as the boat moves, but one thing’s for sure—it’s way better than sweating it out on the pavement.
2. Shade and Comfort? Yes, Please.
Unlike standing on the airfield with the sun beating down, a boat cruise gives you the perfect mix of sunshine and shade. Find a cozy seat, kick back, and let the natural air conditioning of the Fox River or Lake Winnebago do its thing.
3. Stay Hydrated Without Breaking the Bank
We all know how expensive food and drinks can get at big events. On a private boat cruise, you can bring your own beverages—whether that’s ice-cold water, a refreshing soda, or something a little stronger (because hey, you’re on vacation).
4. Recharge Without Missing Out
Taking a midday break to cool off doesn’t mean you have to leave the action. Book a cruise in between airshows, or plan it for late afternoon when the sun is at its peak. You’ll return refreshed and ready for the evening festivities.
