Boating saying that are so true

[powerskipper]

So far these to me ring true.

As you get better at boating, the opps get less but more spectacular.


Any knot will do as long as you can undo it again. ( for fenders )

Mother nature rules, so work with her, not against her.( works with wind and tide )

Cool Dudes, do it slowly. Throttle jokes, crash and burn. (berthing)

It's better to be at home wishing you were out there, than being out there wishing you were at home.

The best remedy for seasickness is, to sit under an Oak tree.

If you don't have a boat, but want to experience what it's like,

stand naked under a cold shower while tearing £50 notes to shreds, and don't forget to smile while you're doing it.

The best builge pump is a scared man with a bucket.

In the harbour
"Go dead slow, look like a pro. Go too quick, look like a d**k"

Anytime
"There's always plenty of work to be done on a boat"
"There's no such thing as enemies at sea"

In rough seas
"It ain't the big green wave in front of you that's the problem, its the dark green trough behind it"
"No, I meant the other starboard"
