Nevertheless they carried an amazing amount of stuff for a 3 hour tour.

What, me capsize?

Way too cool for that. Now fetch me another White Claw from the galley cooler and turn up the Steely Dan.

Just pack trunks of cash and a few complete wardrobes of clothes.

Only three hours.

Would someone please tell me about the two happiest days in a boat owners life?

I seem to disremember.

Not really, we just lose all of our gun collections. No one ever dies though. 8>)

Much wisdom in the comments there also. :-)

Know what to do when a whale surfaces near you-— and you are in a little 3-seat row boat with a small motor.

Pray.

For entertainment purposes only, take a chair and cooler of your favorite beverage and seat yourself near the boat ramp. Let the fun and calamity begin.

Yep. Done that. Darn near sunk my Father-in-Law’s run-about. It is amazing how fast you move when you see water on the floor boards.

Some of the best entertainment on the planet.

Jacksonville NC is my personal favorite.

Also, boats should have a “kill” switch, I think it is called, to turn off the motor should everyone aboard fall out. At least, that’s what I’ve been told.

I fondly remember when I saw the taillights go out of sight. I loved boating but as the restrictions and fees kept escalating, I knew then it was a losing battle.

Yep, use a kill switch. Personal experience.

A good one for those who are looking for a good beginners boat. It has room for any weapons you might lose, too.
