Anyone who has a boat mainly for their kids and the time that you get w/them out on the water knows this smile.  The "one" that keeps you owning that mf'er --

He eats what we eat mostly but he’s a lousy deck hand. 

No food on the boat rule cancelled for 2021?

Why would you ever have that rule?  Is that a thing?

2021:  food for adults only.  Actually she and I have taken food out before. But chillren? Yeah. Hard no. Still hard no. 

Water dog, he’s so fucking awesome. Straight up nostril inhaling hedonist like me, well I don’t stick my nose up in the air and smell like he does but I do believe life is for consuming.

Some of us don’t have full kitchens aboard.

Yep.  My first thought was that the dumbass didn’t even stop to check for damage to the boat but then my next thought was if there’s damage better get it to the barn before she goes down in the channel.

Or a fiberglass deck and wash down hose.   Me, crushed goldfish, bread crumbs or smushed grape?  Blasted into the scuppers they go.

I don’t care if I had a leather canoe...half the fun of being on the water is the eating and drinking.  Fuck that

Pretty sure he tore those riggers off on the bridge just as the movie cut off.   Poorly planned in every facet.

Haha I'd be the opposite.  You'd probably be yelling at me to go faster.  I drive boats like old people fuck

Fenders out while cruising is more offensive than the no food thing. And the no food thing is pretty offensive.

People referring to fenders as bumpers might be even more offensive than either.

It's okay if headed to the gas dock though, right?  I hope?

I've heard people say that.  I've always said fenders, but I didn't know there was a right or wrong.  Seems like it's about 50/50 people referencing them as one or the other.  Is that a regional thing or what's that about?

I used to say bumpers but then I started my sailing classes and realized only plebs call them bumpers. No wonder Bruin and 650 look down on us motorboaters so much.

Haha I figured you might have been into it pretty good last night.

dude I actually re-entered the light weight class two years ago when I did dry january.  did it again this year and I don't even have a drink but 2-3 times a week now.  so 4 of those and I'm head spinning dizzy.  disclosure:  numbers 3 and 4 were at home.

Funny, I'm going through the exact same shit right now.  Not Mrs Landomatic...me 🤦‍♂️

101 test tomorrow, learned man over board drills and reefing, plus did some good ole fashioned sailing today. Instructor is still a dick.  A complete POS dick.  We got into it, motor brackets weren’t working bc the bolt and fastener was loose, my son couldn’t make it hold, I couldn’t and he assumed it was operator error, he jumped my case about not damaging the boat... after 6 hours of his bullshit, irritation with us learning, and struggle with a teenager - but honestly the worst behavior was the grown man - I kinda lost it - I said look dude, I could buy 10 of these right now if I wanted, so if I damage it I’ll fix it, no one here wants to damage the boat, we all want to take care of it, we are just trying to learn and you aren’t helping. He’s a terrible teacher, has zero patience for the learning process, zero patience for kids, I’m honestly starting to wonder if he’s got a thing against LGBTQ folk - two women and kids last time - dunno - but I never think thats the case.

MOB drills are critical. Never be too cool to take that seriously.

That’s not the dick part. MOB stressed me out bc it’s legit.  We actually did well. Spent 2 hours doing it, coming back to it next time.

Oh yeah, I didn't mean that. I know your instructor sucks donkey balls.

 

I'm just saying always remember how important it is and take it seriously. It easy to get complacent over the years as you get more experienced.

We may be buying a 1977 Catalina 27 tall rig... boom mother fuckers. 

 

should have pics in hand this evening will figure it out soon. Friend selling / may partner on it. Could be a great learner boat.

Yes sir I can see that. I was thinking about it while we were practicing - I think I might practice it on our own some and I think I may do some safety stuff anytime I have guests on board. Not MOB but at least a hey here’s how this works. And ocean travel no doubt. 

And I just have to say this one more time - I’m still stressed - drinking a beer watching the Texas OU baseball game trying to calm down - fuck that guy. I’m super excited despite that POS. It’s a shame really, a great instructor would have us flying super high, instead I’m trying to unwind while also being excited about learning.  Fuck him.

Buy it, buy two of them - maybe three or four of them , and if the right one keep her happy and satisfied. That’s my motto.

Btw that Catalina is in good shape and is fully depreciated. We’d get our money back in two years when it’s time to buy bigger.

Don’t stress. Sadly, most people suck. And don’t impulse buy that boat just to spite him.  Or do...whatever 🤷‍♂️

The back story is the boat is owned by some friends of ours - we are considering paying for half, cleaning it up some more and practicing with it.  It’s only $5000 total so it’s not a big spend at all to pay half. Slip cost is $250/month total.  They don’t use it enough anymore and are building a house in marfa so the next year they will be distracted.  I’d only want this for 1-2 seasons then bump up to a larger sailboat for the lake, or not.  They could be good vacation partners too - they’ve already done BVI bareboat. They want to move up to a larger cruising cat.  the biggest issue is two boats ? I mean I do still work.

You can work from either of the boats.

Fucking ducks!

I give them a few chips and now they stalk me all over the lake-

Canyon Lake is as pretty, water-wise, as any lake I've seen in Texas.  When the sun is out and high in the sky the color is just beautiful.  There's just not a lot of mud.  It's weird going from my old home lake (Lake Austin) to Canyon.  Don't get me wrong, I still love Lake Austin, but the water clarity, color, and boat clean-up is night and day better being on Canyon Lake.

In honor of my water temp guage registering over 70F for the first time this year I commemorated the moment with 2 minutes of Robbie Dupree driven sunset wake spray --
