Why do you boat?

[Blue Oval]

I get this question alot. Why do you boat, where do you boat, what do you do? Small town and I launch about 5 times aweek when weather is good. People see my truck at the launch all the time.
#1- To get away from people and screen my calls, no one knocking at my door wanting there car fixed.
#2-Live downtown- get in boat to get my own space
#3-Buy a boat and try to find me to see what I do. No free answers!
#4-I just like it, Kenny said it best(Vessel of fredom) !

Whats your reason?

On Saturdays and Sundays boating,
Always meeting other friends on there boats, meeting at a resturant or hanging out at redfish island. Our boat club(Topps) have fun runs and poker runs and get togethers. We try do do everything on the weekend by boat.
Weather permitting!!!!!

Because it's so inexpensive !!!!! and lets face it....I'd probably drown being 25 miles offshore without one......

1) strippers don't canoe

2) Even when I'm broken down the stereo still rocksarty:

3) No Wrinks in South Fla.:03:

Every trip is an adventure.......or at least it should be.Lots of things to do that can't be done on land..........Any one who knows me can tell you about the Stilt House and that there's not many thing's better than "Just Hanging Out....." We also have a sand bar not far away that makes a great destination for relaxing with Friends....but you can't get there by car.............

Because I can

The short answer that I give to anyone that questions any of my hobbies: becase I enjoy it and becase I can.

Talking boater to boater: Moving across the water is something that gets me away from the daily grind and allows me to forget about all the stress and negativity in the world around me. When I'm boating my mind and body finally start to relax. The speed, the sound of screaming drag with a fish on the line, partying, diving, poker runs, naked women, booze, smell of burnt race fuel, the smell of fish blood....thats all icing on the cake.

And nothing on earth compares to the quality of the friendships formed from boating.

I always tell my wife there are three things that clear my head from work. Basketball, boating and --x. The boat gives me a two-fer. Basketball helps me make it thru the winter!

 

[Blue Oval]

And yes, we have met a large number of great friends thru boating!

[PARADOX]

The need for speed. Because I can't swim that fast.
The four "B's"..
Boats, Babes, Bikes and Beer.
The never ending pursuit of a perfect day, getting out on the water, having a great day, coming back to land with out braking anything.
I'm still await that day. Just kidding, I had a few. Very few.

 

[Magic Medicine]

I grew up on a boat in the summer so I was just natural for me to buy my own. Always wanted a go fast since I was a young lad. Love the speed! Love spending quality time with family and friends in a relaxing environment. I met alot of my best friends boating!!! Because I can!!!!

Boating a Magic kind of Medicine that no doctor can prescribe!!!!!

I guarantee that there is somthing called a "boaters high". If not then I am coining that term now as you read this. Way better than a runners high where endorphines are realesed causing a mild state of euphoria. I think all of us become chemiclly imbalanced when we are about to go boating, while crusing across the water and just looking at boats. Plain and simple we are addicted to all of the aspects of boating.
