And to all you weekend warriors, scurvy scoundrels, sunburned scallywags, assorted sea lubbers, pirates, buccaneers, privateers and fly-over-country deplorables, pay attention to item #7.
>>It’s that time of year again. It is a phenomenon that FReepers are among the most astute people around, yet FReepers are such lousy boaters.<<
Have we lost any? From their own bad boatifying?
#1. Be sure to put the drain plug(s) in your boat.
I sold my boat.
HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!..............
Not a chance, lol.
Run the blowers if you got a gasoline power plant
Next they’ll say mixing alcohol, boating, and guns is a bad thing.
11. if it sinks you lost all your guns and ammo
I’ve heard it said that the two happiest days in a boat owner’s life are the day he buys it and the day he sells it.
Oh, come on, bro. Most of us have one small, tiny accident out at sea where all personal firearms are lost and you go and make this racist, sexist, anti-handicapped statement ever.
Hey, I sent my wife in after my firearms, but alas they, not her, went down to Davey Jones' locker forever.
That number 7 would be a deal killer for almost every boater I ever knew.
A boat is a hole in the water into which you pour money, continuously.....................
Tearing apart my stern drive and replacing the sea impeller tomorrow. Hope it works.
Oh, it’ll work.
Then something else will break...........

Bring Out Another Thousand
"Floor it?"
I know I lost all my gold in a boating accident.
Maybe number 7 is a little difficult, but I see an opportunity here. Uberboater!
I’ll crunch the numbers and write a business plan.
Shark Tank here I come...

Whole point of the exercise. The sun's over the yard-arm in Bermuda. I think it's always over the yard arm in Bermuda. I've never been informed otherwise.
11. Boating at night is very dangerous for the casual boater. Avoid doing this if at all possible. Lots of crazies out on the water at night, many of whom have been drinking at dock bars all day. Not worth the risk.
12. If the marine forecast posts a Small Craft Advisory, don’t venture out. Stay at the pier and hang out with friends or do some maintenance on the boat (there’s always something to do). A mechanical breakdown or losing power in heavy seas can put you in a very distressing situation.
