Operating a boat requires the operator know how to SWIM!
I’m not sure if being a pilot you should know how to fly? Perhaps, you should know how to FALL?

I had a sailboat for years and I had it in the marina in a couple of different likes and I can tell you I saw some of the stupidest stuff from stupid people. It was amazing. I wish I had videoed some of the stuff that I saw.

Sold mine many years ago. It was an expensive hole in the water.

I took a Captain’s class offered by the Power Squadron. They taught me a great deal. They offered sessions on what not to do. I spent most of my time laughing. I didn’t realize there were so many stupid people on the water. When you realize that these idiots are on land majority of the time, I’m surprised we don’t introduce our country, Welcome To The Land Of The Stupids!

Reminds me of the old oft repeated saying . . . The two best days of a boaters life are . . . the day you bought the boat and the day you sold the boat.

LOL... to my non-boat-owning friends, I described the experience of owning a boat as being similar to digging a hole in your backyard, throwing your paycheck in it, and lighting it on fire. Rinse and repeat regularly.

I miss my boating days, Coast Guard Auxiliary,y yacht clubs, and weekend overnight trips with my family. Wonderful memories of boating on the Chesapeake Bay. It is not all that complicated

ME too ... 40 years ago.
HAD to get everybody to agree. On everything.
Went out, 2 or 3 weekends a year. The rest of the time it ate 2 parking spaces in my yard.
AND all the money just to license, register, insure, and maintain.
AND relatives wanting me to "fix 'er up" so THEY could go on vacay in style.
Dinna last 5 years. Only the relatives complained when it went.

I grew up with boats...small and large...had three myself and one airboat (not a boat imo).
Boats are the perfect example of yin and yang. Pleasure and pain...depending on the person.
I loved them all...good times...but in the past now.
Sidebar: Saw a review of a cooler...and packing the dry storage the guy flipped in his wallet with the comment...
"Here's an empty wallet...because we own a boat".
Liked him right then and there...

I, too, miss the boating days - especially the River Queen houseboat on Lake George. I still have the two canoes my brother and I bought in high school though.
