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. And yes, this is a re-post because it needs to be repeated.

It’s not #7 that gets us. It’s #3. Common sense should have told me not to load every firearm I own and all of my ammo into such a small boat. I see that now - too late.

If you have to bring a firearm, make sure said firearm is not tossed into the water

If we were good boaters, then how could we be expected to have lost all our firearms in that unfortunate canoe or boating accident when the thugs come around to confiscate?

Sorry sir. Ain’t got none. You see, it happened like this...

As an avid boater, I thank you for this post. I am curious why you think FReepers are lousy boaters. Have you been “droning” me?

Know what to do when a whale surfaces near you-— and you are in a little 3-seat row boat with a small motor.

You don't need any of that stuff if you're only going out for a three hour tour.

A three hour tour.

"FReepers for years saying they lost their firearms in an unfortunate boating accident."

Guy I work for just bought his first ever boat. A 35 ft. powerboat. He’s never piloted a boat of any kind before.

I’m sure very expensive hilarity will ensue.

And NEVER bring your entire gun collection on a boating trip.

More guns have been “lost” that way then by any other means.

Get Gov. Gretch the Wretch’s husband to move your boat launch queue position to the front of the line.

No matter how prepared you may be, at some time in your seafaring career you will forget the plug. But don’t worry, you will do so only once.

And, no matter how much they beg, don't take your boats for gun rides.

Never ends well.
