Only when we have our weapons onboard, are we lousy boaters. 🤣

WE spent WAY to much money on buying our sailboat to do stupid things with it. It’s the only home we have.

While I won’t claim to be the BEST at boating, we haven’t killed anyone, nor, have we damaged anyone else’s boat. WE did break a bow light once trying to get out of a slip, but, it was a learning error on my part. I am a bit better now.

Another handy reference is "How to Avoid Huge Ships". Much wisdom there, and the reviews are hilarious. ;-)

4.Designate an Assistant Skipper

Always a wise precaution - just in case the Professor can't figure out a way to outsmart the headhunters.

As a boater - and an owner of a marina in New England, I have to say happy boating this summer.

You are supposed to have two anchors: A gold plated one to keep as a showpiece, a galvanized one to use to hold your boat in place! Or you could have another to throw a liberal overboard!! 🤓

Of course, that is a waste of a good anchor...🤓

The last time I went power boating I had to fieldstrip a pair of Ma Deuces afterward. Come to think of it that boat would be fun to have at the next Hollywood Actor Regatta.

I lost my entire gun collection in a tragic boating accident.

Me too and my gun safe, too... 🤓

Make sure if you go out on a 3 hour cruise, that you have a Ginger and/or a Mary Ann...🤓

Most anchors are used to deploy the chain.

FReepers are such lousy boaters.


We’ll see. I am building a 20’ Carolina Dory from scratch.

When I get it out, I’ll come back here and tell you whether I suck or not.

Went duck hunting once with a father and son that were always bickering. We got underway, and about a quarter mile from the boat ramp, and the dad looks back and says, “Looks like we’ve got company. There’s lights at the boat launch.” I don’t remember which of them parked the truck, but they left the lights on.

Most of the problem with freepers is apparently that they atte mpt to transport weapons...which of course leads to the unfortunate loss of the firearms.
