Ten Things That Annoy Boat Owners

Image
If you ask me, boaters are some of the best people in the world.   I’m not sure why, but they are.   Maybe it is because they have more fun than most people or maybe it is because they don’t worry themselves with trivial issues such as getting their wills together before they die.   After all, the only thing that will be left is a well-used boat, a few life jackets, a pair of flip flops and some sunglasses.   Even the nicest people, however can get annoyed sometimes.   For the typical boater, the source of annoyance typically comes from those who do not understand the boating lifestyle.   It doesn’t mean the offender is a bad person.   They just need to learn a few things. Here are 10 things that are sure to annoy the average boater: 1.          Showing Up Late – You invite some friends out for a day on the water.   Everyone is there, ready to go . . . except for one person.   Now you are all sitting there waiting for him/her to show up before the fun can start.   A day

Recently, a friend of mine came across a PWC floating aimlessly in the no wake zone of her marina.   She checked with the marina and they could not identify the owner.   She then reported the found vessel to the DNR and found that there was no record of ownership there either.   The problem was that the registration had expired and along with it, any record of ownership.   The officer asked her if she would like to claim the vessel herself.   Yup!
