BOATING EXPLAINED WITH CAP'N DREW
Years ago, being a boater was much simpler than it is today. In the boating of yesteryear, owning a personal watercraft meant that you didn’t have a partner. Drinking beer was encouraged, life vests were optional, and nobody gave a damn about the environment. Modern boating has become far more complicated. Today’s boaters must deal with complexities such as environment-friendly emissions, luxury tax, BWI, maceration laws and courtesy. Gone are the days of hopping on one’s boat and cruising off into the sunset without a care. Today’s boaters are expected to observe navigation rules, concern themselves with the safety of children, and pay for gas that costs more per gallon than French perfume. Therefore, we are not so much about boats as about boating. Hopefully a little boating humor will help boaters make more sense out of the little corner of the world in which we occupy.
TOP TEN REASONS TO BUY A BOAT:

2. You want to become intimately acquainted with every single working part of an engine.
3. You find constant scraping, painting and waxing to be very therapeutic.
4. You feel a moral obligation to help support OPEC.
5. Instead of sitting on shore not catching any fish, you prefer to sit on a boat, not catching any fish.
6. You want complete strangers to call you, “Captain.”

10. A million Skippers can’t be wrong.
