Always bring ballast in the form of your firearms collection, when you catch too many fish and they start to weigh the boat down, toss them overboard. ( Works really well when a gun grabbing dem is in power )

If you use a kayak, especially in less than perfect weather, ALWAYS wear your PFD so they can more easily recover your body.

Yeah, former Coastie. It helps them out A LOT!

Before boating be sure to read "How To Avoid Huge Ships". The comments alone are worth a look.

When filling your boat with gasoline, remember NOT to put the nozzle in the rod holder or the pump out connection.

Knew someone who did that and after flushing out the holding tank, blew up the boat. Both he and his wife were seriously injured and of course the boat was a total loss.

FReepers always seem to be losing stuff overboard. Like firearms...

An inflatable offshore vest with an attached McMurdo PLB is my solution. It goes on before I leave the dock.

I saved a kayaker’s life once. Sorry to say they were too STUPID to know they were in danger from drowning and hypothermia.

It was October and we were one of very few boats still on the lake. We were the only boat to respond to the distress call from her boyfriend on shore.

At first she refused help. The kayak was pointing toward the sky. She had a life jacket but wasn’t wearing it. It was quite windy and I had to be Very careful maneuvering my power boat near her. We finally convinced her to accept our help.

The boyfriend was very appreciative, she was pissed.

Should have let her drown! /s
