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.

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.

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.

Maybe number 7 is a little difficult, but I see an opportunity here. Uberboater!

I’ll crunch the numbers and write a business plan.

item #7

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.
