t'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.

You left out “Strap your firearms to a flotation device so they don’t get lost in deep water”.

Naw.
FReepers are great boaters.
Where we suck is proper weapons stowage in swells (and calm water).

When the muster drill before leaving the dock makes leftists cry, you KNOW you’ve done your job as the captain.
...because when it goes bad on the water, it goes bad VERY fast!
Wake up newbeies.
Be prepared!
... don’t like the muster drill?
GET OFF!
EVERYBODY’S life depends on everyone and everyone wants to be the captain, until the real life captain SHTF decision stuff happens in real life.
Most have no clue.
Great post.

Be sure to not take a voyage on a North Korean warship.

A biggy for boat safety is knowing how to pilot the damn thing with regards to the safety of others.
A few years back we were on a lake that was so full of boats the water looked like a blender. It was the 4th of July. We were on our pontoon going fairly slow to avoid mishaps with other boats.
Then a rather large runabout cut right in front of us plowing water. The bow was out of the water and the top of the transom was level with the water. In other words, it was at quite an angle, far from planing. It’s wake was a 3 foot high wave on each side. And it went right over the top of our pontoon onto the deck. To top it of the boat was a water safety patrol. They were so stupid they had no idea what they were doing.

Yep was thinking waterproof gun cases. I’ve seen so many tragic boating accidents since 1998!

I suggest taking a “Safe Boating Course” from the Coast Guard Auxiliary.
Their aim is to NOT have to be on a search and rescue mission.
