Nah...

I'd gladly ride in Mikeys boat, would even buy gas and adult beverages :yay:

No debate as far as I'm concerned (power/sail) as long as I'm on the water.
:yeahthat: Air is cool. Hell, I always pay for the gas but you can sure buy me an adult beverage! :buddies:


..and Fast, sails have the right of way in all but 2 instances.

1. When under power.
2. When overtaking another vessel regardles of power.

My disdain for sailboats involves a dolt who didn't know about the 2nd.

Hell yea but the dumbass was under sail overtaking me. We chased him across the bay after getting the rods secured.

Asses wife was driving and when he heard us yelling he quickly made her go below, shrugs his shoulders & says: "I was undersail, I have right of way."

How quickly he learned how wrong he was. Sinker dents all over his hull. :killingme I still seethe when I think about that. :burning:

And he deserved everyone of them. Anyone abusing their "right of way" deserves to have their boat taken from them. I had to laugh, while bringing our boat down to Solomons from Baltimore we overheard an argument over the VHF between a barge captain and a sailor. Captain warned sailor to give way, sailor began arguing that he had right of way. Common sense (and polite) warnings from the captain about his inability to turn or stop did no good. The conversation started getting ugly, and the Coast guard finally had to step in and tell sailor to turn. What a dummy. He almost got ran over, too.

The wanker should been run over! When it comes to commercial traffic on the bay, give way, always, regardless of what type of boat you're on.

Got to feel for the barge captains on the night of governors cup. Dealing with close to 300 sailboats heading to St. Marys City. :jameo:

Yeah I have had to wave my friends to follow me when on the Doo's. Being that most boaters dont like us I try to make sure we are as polite as possible. I just need Mikey to leave out of Battle Creek a couple times so I have some wakes to jump LOL...

We just bought a boat over the weekend. I'll let my 5 year old go, but the two youngers one definitely not (and they are 19 months and 7 weeks.)

I think that's highly irresponsible. What if there is flesh-eating bacteria in the water? Please make sure you lather your child with antibacterial gel if you're going to take him/her anywhere near the water. And I would definitely make them wear goggles to protect their eyes.

You can't be too careful.

Hell, I'm the one hopping wakes too!! :lol: I'll make ya some waves!!

I have no prob. with jet skis at all. Now sailboaters hate them and hate us loud exhaust asses. We disturb their peace and quiet while they're anchored in the middle of the harbour because no wind is blowing. :lmao:

I have to be clarify. We didn't buy one of those fast boats, we bought a party boat. And with all the gators and GOD only knows what else in the water, I wouldn't let her near the St. Johns River (only real place you can take a boat like this where I'm at.) I wouldn't even let her stick her feet in the water.

I don't blame you. All sorts of bad things can happen to kids who stick their toes in the water. There might be a stick floating and the child could be seriously injured.

I'm going to start a whole other thread about in-ground pool safety. My kids are only allowed in once they have recited the "don't go within 4 feet of the filter intake" rule...:dead:
