Remember, it can always be worse

For those of you whining and moaning, please remember it can always be worse. Woke up this morning to a phone call from the marina.

Boat is sunk. Bikde pump failed and had horrible rains last night. Vacation ruined. Two weeks with no boat. Probably gonna total it.

So remember it can always get worse.

But nobody was in it. Nobody was hurt. And we were not 16 miles off shore when it decided to fail.

Always look at the bright side. It's better for the heart.

Drinking starts as soon as its raised and put on the trailer .....

But as you said, could have been a lot sadder.

Keep your chin up and hang in there. You can probably refloat it and buff any scratches right out. ;)

My boat story- I'm maybe 8. Going fishing w dad. Launch boat. He goes to park and says stand on the dock and hold the rope. Dont move. Well he goes to park. I wait and wait. Suddenly I notice she is sinking lower and lower. Dad didnt put the transom plugs in apparently. I start yelling for him to hurry. we start her up just in time to get her on plane and eventually drain her out.

My first shipwreck.


Jun 24, 2020, 10:31 AM

I was a teenager that got invited to ride on a small catamaran on the Pamlico Sound. Everyone else was older, and there were a couple of very desirable young ladies I was trying to impress. We get about a mile from shore and the guy in charge turns us into the wind. I did not know a catamaran would dip underwater and then come back up. As soon as the top covered in water, I bailed out and started swimming to shore. I turned back to see if either of the girls needed assistance. Everyone was high and dry...pointing at me while bent over laughing.

The swim back to the boat was the most humiliating part.

And just when you were hoping shrinkage would be the most disappointing part

Sorry brother, I know that made for a rough start to your day. Boat ownership is never what it’s cracked up to be unless you live on the boat....
