One Thousand Five Hundred Reasons... THAT Boat... Was Sexy... ð
One Thousand Five Hundred Reasons... THAT Boat... Was Sexy... ð Note : A F F is deleting words in the t.ext. Please be patient. Life ... is where you find it, right? I found an interesting, slice of it... down by the marina, last Saturday morning. It was sunny. A few clouds in the sky. I pulled into my favorite spot, slid out of my car and stood, by the edge of the wharf. I inhaled, that invigorating fishy scent... of fresh, lake air. It always, soothed my soul. The waves were timid and the breeze was warm. Nearby, a cluster of hopeful fishermen, sat in folding chairs and clutched their rods. The horizon, was dotted with tiny sail boats, fluttering about. And behind me, a gaggle of sailors, scurried, to ready their crafts. Brian and Linda were working on their 2005, 'Sea Ray' - securing it to the trailer. Theirs - was a sleek, white and blue vessel, built for water skiing and skimming, along calm waters. Brian, had just sold it. He'd taken 'her' out ... one, last time. He wiped the chrome rail... as he spoke to me. "I'm gonna miss this baby. She was never good, in rough water though. Her keel is too flat. We'd bounce off the waves, like a rubber ball, off cement," he laughed. As we stood there - 'One Armed Warren' - drove up. His right arm, was lost in a bizarre, boating accident... many years ago. I never got, the full story. He slowly, backed up his truck, down the loading ramp. The trailer, carried his 'Larson Bowrider'. That boat, was a sea worthy, twenty five foot beast. "I've taken her , on the Atlantic. She'll handle any wave," he proudly boasted to me, once. It's always a bit tricky, to unload a boat, so Brian and I... offered our help. As Warren slipped the stern of his boat, into the water, and unhitched it, Brian called out to him. "Warren... Ya gonna start the motor, before you release? Test it?" "Nah. Runs fine Brian. Just came back from the Florida Keys. She'll be good." I don't know much, about boats. Brian does. He looked at me and shrugged his shoulders. With the next lurch of the trailer... Warren's boat... floated gently, onto the water. Brian and I held the ropes, as Waren jumped in, to start the engine. Yes...! You predicted correctly. It wouldn't start. After another futile, twenty minutes... it still, wouldn't start. Warren, hopped out of the 'captain's chair' and onto the dock. "Sea water in the engine. I thought I flushed it. But something's messing, with the fuel pump... or filter. Can't reach it, without dismantling half the engine. I'm fucked... for today," he declared, rather annoyed with himself. I could see Eileen (Warren's wife), trudging towards us, from the marina clubhouse. "What's up Warren?" she called. "Don't tell me - we're not going out?" "No... The fuel pump is messed up," he replied. Then... we ALL heard, that familiar sound, rolling in from the far end of the lake. Twin engines roared, from about a mile away. The 'cigarette boat', flew across the lake. It threw a huge wall of water and misty spray, high into the air... and far behind... in its wake. It was Barry and his - fifteen hundred horsepower - monster! The music (blasting through his speakers)... preceded his entry, to the side of the wharf. His engines idled, with that intimidating... deep... low growl. Heads turned. I could feel my body vibrating... as he finally, killed them (the engines)... and floated towards us. "Hey guys. What's up?" Barry called out, as he waved. We shared with him, the 'short version' of our morning. And before we knew it, we were all climbing into... Barry's sexy, racing sloop. The engines, rumbled to life. The sound system clicked in and the sub woofers, teased our heartbeats. We gripped the seats and then... ripped across the blue waves at (what felt like), a hundred miles per hour. Sometime later... after the wind and the brilliant sun, had completely, numbed our bodies... and the music, had totally numbed our ears; we all sat there, in the marina lounge, watching the boats slip in and out of the bay. Drinks were soon - going to be numbing ... our brains. I'm not a fan, of big boats and motorized water craft. When I'm sitting peacefully, on a chair, by the shore, I find they're intrusive and obnoxiously LOUD. Not to mention, their impact, on the environment. But damn... they're FUN ... when you're on one! Who wouldn't, enjoy it? Or... is the love of speed... just a 'guy thing' ? ......................................... Note : A F F is deleting words in the t.ext.

Yep. I hate the sound of those loud boats and sea-doos buzzing around a quiet body of water. Soooo... annoying! ðĪ Yet, when I'm on a boat, I love it. The feeling of the wind and the waves Just great! ð So I'm a hypocrite... I guess... ðķ ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

I do love speed. And I've known plenty of ladies who've shared my thrill. So I don't think, it's JUST a 'guy' thing. ð But... I won't get on a motorcycle. I don't trust the other guy. And maybe... I just don't trust myself, either. ðĪ ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

Oh and.. by the way... They name boats, after women. Is that because... they're so difficult to handle? ðŊ ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

Great story!

Nope its not just a guy thing, we used to go to the lake every summer and spend time on the house boats, speed boats. The speed boats are such exhilarating fun loved them and inter tubing off the back of them even more fun.. All the kids used to have a blast. Thanks for sharing your exciting day with us, and I hope you continue to get out there in the water and have a blast..

I love boat rides of all sorts. When I was 18, I dated a guy that had a little 2 seater speed boat. We'd go boating every Sunday afternoon. What a blast that summer was. My theory on naming boats after women .... cuz you get all wet riding one! Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

A day... is enough for me too. Every weekend... sounds like a challenge... lol ð Did you keep your temper? Or did you blow a gasket? I'm not sure if I could do every weekend. My buddy was a mile out, when he was blasting it. Wake rules? ðĪ He cruised in at 5 mph. But he was LOUD! I mean LOUD! Sounds like we both, can take it in small bites... ð Houseboat huh?

I have lots of fond memories of going boating at the cottage. Wasnât anything fancy, just an aluminum one for fishing. No desire to go on an ocean cruise.....too many people!

That boat was fun but super loud. No way I could ever afford one. Barry claims that he paid $300k for it. Is crazy speed... and a sick sound system... worth THAT price?

lol... Yep... I agree. I just put that question up, to see if anyone would nibble. ð Women aren't difficult to 'handle' at all. They handle 'themselves' just fine! True about small craft with a paddle. I like those spaces of water ðĶ that, completely ban motor boats. Those... ate the places that just sooth the soul. ð Nobody... handles YOU!

Those boats ARE fun... for a while. Captains? lol... I'm usually co - captain. No? ðĪ I rarely get to steer the ship, all of the time. Unless of course... she's let me tie her up, on the bed...
