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.

Tell me about it. I lost my entire gun collection in a tragic boating accident.

How do you reach that silly conclusion - I spent 30 years at sea.

Quit transporting all of your firearms by boat?

I like to watch some of the boat ramp videos. Lots of lessons to be learned there. Amazing how many boats with capable people on board to handle a line, and the captain leaves the wheel so he can work a line.

Those Rules only are good for small lakes & ponds, rivers. The Sea has a different set of rules of which those mentioned are just for starters **before you buy a boat**.

There are any? Pleasure boating and commercial fishing are two different worlds with different rules.

A fishing and hunting website I frequent has an ongoing thread called “boat ramp confessional” lots o funny stuff. Trying to back the boat off the trailer with the rear straps still on, forget to put in drain plugs, running 2 hours to fishing spot and realizing fishing rods in truck back back at ramp, do a good job of getting boat on trailer only to find out you loaded it on the wrong trailer/truck, etc.

The day they bought the boat and the day they sold the boat.
