Boating Observations

[wpod]

My view on this is influenced by my 30 years of flying, which has a fair amount in common with coastal and cruising boating. Now I have seen a fair amount of questionable behavior in airplanes, I'm guilty of a few mostly weather related decisions that weren't the best, but at least there is the comfort of knowing that the other folks out there have at least demonstrated some level of understanding and competence.....and it is not socially acceptable to drink and fly unlike some in boating, but that is another discussion.

Lets drink some booze and smoke some weed and go boating ! . I don't smoke or drink and had several boats over 25 years and I am still alive ! I love aircraft ranging from a ultralight to a 747 ! but I wouldn't consider myself to have the where with all to responsibily pilot one.

^^When I was in my teens and 20's I couldn't believe the number of girls who'd say, "There ought to be a test to become a parent".

Marriage, not boating, was on their minds. Ha-ha, sorry for the highjack.
