You're Not a Real Boater ...

Re: You\'re Not a Real Boater ...

until youve got your new boat, going down river and dicovering that you have plumbed the steering up wrong so right is left and left is right
 
Re: You\'re Not a Real Boater ...

Friend of mine just told me a little story.

They had moored off a town and taken the inflatable dinghy into the harbour to go shopping for essential supplies. With bags duly packed they returned to the dinghy and set off for their boat. Half way back they heard an ominous hissing sound. Panic. Where was the leak? Could they get back to the boat before the tube deflated? No, turn round and head for the beach. Made it back to the boach OK. Checked dinghy and found all tubes still firm. What the hell was going on.

Further examination found that a can of beer had punctured and this was creating the hissing sound. Red face, back to the boat.

Until you have got so drunk you cant refit your canopy after a sunny day and wake up during the night for a drink only to find you have no electrics so pour water on your mobile phone instead of your glass. Wake up the next morning to find half of your canopy hanging off the rails and then spend 3 hours trying to sort out your electrics only to discover you have kicked the isolator in your drunken stupor.

It was a long weekend this last one!!!

Hmmm...I don't know as this makes me a real boater, but many years ago, in a 37' steel cruiser, I managed to accidentally ram a floating toilet block (can't say where to protect the innocent of course).

I man who had been using the facilities came out 5 minutes later, and was most displeased, I suspect having been knocked off his throne.... /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

After that, I was careful to remember that when in a boat, it's better to start reversing sometime in advance of the planned stopping point /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
