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 deplorable,
pay attention to item #7.

#3 Use common sense, stay away from large vessels.
I captained a very large crude carrier (VLCC) and a super container ship. I too made it a point, when navigating, to stay away from large vessels.

16 years old in the Gulf Stream in a 22’ open fisherman with no float plan, no radio, no life jackets, no flares but plenty of beer and bait. Multiple times.

It’s only by God’s Grace that I lived through my young, dumb and stupid years.

11. Don’t burp or fart when sitting at the Captains Table.

Save those activities for the Buffet.

The most affordable boat is the one you don't own.

Bigger boats are safer. If a friend asks me to go boating with him, I tell him that if his boat isn't this big, he's going to need a bigger boat.
