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.

“3.Use Common Sense”
Not that common to load an 8 foot boat with 100 guns but it happens usually with a tragic lose.

When I looked at statistics of major insurance company data bases (pre texting while ignoring the real world)
Alcohol was the #1 cohort with tragedies involving
boats
swimming
RV
skiing
vehicles
domestic violence
falls and accidents in the home
petty crime. Far more stupid hold ups by drunks than drugs.

I love that picture, a couple salt of the earth deplorables, right there.

11. Always bring your entire gun collection onto your boat before getting underway. Don't forget the Beer. Floating Beer Cans make great targets and the ricochet's off the water sound really cool.

Hahaha...I thought it was going to have included “Secure your firearms in waterproof, floating containers” given how many boating accidents we appear to have!

After reading that list, boating doesn’t seem like it’s much fun.

I sold my boat two weeks ago. The 2nd happiest day of my life. Well, maybe one of the top ten...

Your list has some great points, but it shouldn't sound like a government virtual signalling scolding as much as it does.
The left loves these kinds of lists. Because fun is not an option......
Life is short, boats are cool.

Glad you sold yours, sorry it didn't work out.......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Indeed it does, especially at the beginning of the boating season where in many areas it can be a very dangerous time on the water. Same with major holidays that seem to bring out all the reckless idiots.
To this list I would add be extremely careful about being out on the water after dark. Visibility is a real challenge and remember, intoxicated boaters are coming back from dock bars.
Stay safe out there.

Boating can be a lot of fun and provide some wonderful memories.
But admittedly it does require some preparation, a healthy does of caution, and lots of money.
One of the biggest problems with boating today is an abundance of very fast vessels of all sizes, many of which are driven by inconsiderate and distracted boaters. You have to be thinking ahead all the time.

I have a 1977 Hobie Cat ‘16
It is 16 feet long with a 28’ mast. Hell yeah!
A wrestling match to sail.
...and so fast.
Torch lake is the best.
Your only goal is to take it to the edge and not flip ...but $hit happens.
