It seems they make one look tiny and that's much easier than quitting pie.

And my cooking. He was/is a big guy.
We took that boat (for it's owners) from Key West to Staten Island.
Just the two of us. I'm better at handling boats than most men.
Think about securing that one to a dock. [img][/img]

the only time I ever got to drive a boat it was my step-father's Carlson-Glastron - it was the same model used in James Bond Moonraker (007 drove it over a waterfall and escaped by deploying a hang glider built into the roof. Ours didn't have a hang glider. Or torpedoes but not for step-father's lack of trying).

He got tired of pulling everyone else for skiing and he wanted to ski so he finally decided to let me drive and we were running along at a pretty good clip when all of the sudden the boat just stopped. Dead still. I looked back and figured I was in trouble when I saw him walking to the boat.

Stupid sand bars. And maybe he shoulda explained what all those channel markers were for BEFORE he gave me the wheel.


At any rate I bet your trip was better than mine.

Reading navigational charts is worse that a map buoys are street signs. not!
