I was on Mille Lacs Lake in Minnesota and was in a small 16ft fishing boat. We were in a large group of other boats as in dozens that would fish as the boats drifted. What you were suppose to do when you got to the end you would motor around the group. Well instead a guy was speeding thru the group and the bow was so high he could not see ahead. There was one person in that boat in the bow as was I in ours and I and others were waving and yelling at that boat to turn as he was headed straight towards ME!

He turned in time and continued on speeding thru the group.

Don’t tell Curley to get the water out.

It is a phenomenon that FReepers are among the most astute people around, yet FReepers are such lousy boaters.<

What evidence led you to that conclusion?

I'm a FReeper and have been in and around boats since the early 70s and while I'm not a Navy Captain {my son is} I have been driving boats, fishing from boats, water skiing, sea diving from boats and duck hunting from boats, so what makes FReepers lousy boaters?

It is a running joke on FR. FReepers often complain that they lost their weapons stash in a boating accident.

Oh my, my bad, I should have known that as I too lost all of my guns in a boating accident back in 2009.

It must be true that guys older than slow joe could be slowing down, I confess I am.

I apologize to shirley:)
