Crikey, I must be lucky, I only said YES to 2 of them:

Ran out of beer
Got sunburned


Hardly life threatening /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Anyone who has not done all that and more, at least five times, has never done much boating.

Had to tick most of em, except:

Lost a prop, or 2 or 3 - Lost none. Turned a few into cauliflowers, though.
Forgotten to open sea cocks - There aren't any for the cooling system
Been out in an F8 accidentally - Only been out in an F7 accidentally

I ticked all of them . Luckily the second time I went out things went a bit better. ( What a fibber!).

Think I cheated on the running out of drink. Might have done once or twice, but went to the pub instead.

You missed out Sinking, three times, two broken gear boxes and three broken drives. About five over heatings. Umpteen blocked fuel filters and the odd one or two air leaks. Radar and GPS malfunctions, steering failier. Thats not to mention the bog.

My theory is that it's much cheaper to learn from other people's mistakes /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Been in seas taller than someone elses boat! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

All safe and good fun though.

Run out of drink........... but that was Kawasaki's fault!

Dropped a valve (well a bit of it) in a newly built engine (160hrs) very embarrassing!

Lost the prop off a new boat just outside of Cowes......had to sail the bugger back (40' Warrior) to the marina and the staff wouldn't come a take a line to assist. We moved the boat the day after the prop was fitted.

Run over a mooring and snagged the prop.

Not too bad in over 25 years afloat!

Had a breakdown and moored up next ot the boat of the surveyor who did Jedi. He shook his head in an understanding sort of way, probably trying not to say "told you so"

 

[Divemaster1]

Done most of that ....

- Lost outboard engine overboard ... lost starboard engine when trying to see how dry we could run her and which of the pickups were higher than the other...
- Run out of food/drink
- Seas bigger than the boat... well of course in boats from 14 ft to current of 45 ft.... and that is usually whan you have been caught out and wish you were somewhere else... /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
