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.
>>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.<<
Have we lost any? From their own bad boatifying?
#1. Be sure to put the drain plug(s) in your boat.
I sold my boat.
HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!..............
Not a chance, lol.
Run the blowers if you got a gasoline power plant
Next they’ll say mixing alcohol, boating, and guns is a bad thing.
11. if it sinks you lost all your guns and ammo
Oh, come on, bro. Most of us have one small, tiny accident out at sea where all personal firearms are lost and you go and make this racist, sexist, anti-handicapped statement ever.
Hey, I sent my wife in after my firearms, but alas they, not her, went down to Davey Jones' locker forever.
That number 7 would be a deal killer for almost every boater I ever knew.
"Floor it?"
Maybe number 7 is a little difficult, but I see an opportunity here. Uberboater!
I’ll crunch the numbers and write a business plan.
Shark Tank here I come...

Whole point of the exercise. The sun's over the yard-arm in Bermuda. I think it's always over the yard arm in Bermuda. I've never been informed otherwise.
11. Boating at night is very dangerous for the casual boater. Avoid doing this if at all possible. Lots of crazies out on the water at night, many of whom have been drinking at dock bars all day. Not worth the risk.
12. If the marine forecast posts a Small Craft Advisory, don’t venture out. Stay at the pier and hang out with friends or do some maintenance on the boat (there’s always something to do). A mechanical breakdown or losing power in heavy seas can put you in a very distressing situation.
Always bring ballast in the form of your firearms collection, when you catch too many fish and they start to weigh the boat down, toss them overboard. ( Works really well when a gun grabbing dem is in power )
If you use a kayak, especially in less than perfect weather, ALWAYS wear your PFD so they can more easily recover your body.
Yeah, former Coastie. It helps them out A LOT!
yet FReepers are such lousy boaters
Speak for yourself, fool
When filling your boat with gasoline, remember NOT to put the nozzle in the rod holder or the pump out connection.
Knew someone who did that and after flushing out the holding tank, blew up the boat. Both he and his wife were seriously injured and of course the boat was a total loss.
