Worst ride while in a boat?


Recommended Posts

Better to be onshore wishing you were on the ocean thab

Whats the worst boat ride you have been in?

1)When I was 17 and new to boating I was talked into a ride on an old Glastream speed boat. I thought I was going to die that day fellows.The driver was showing off in the inlet jumping waves and I was getting pounded bad.Then he stuffed a wave and swamped the boat.I swam back to the jetty in Fort Pierce and walked to a phone.

2)Saber Cat boat. I recently rode in one and thought the driver was going to kill me.I was scared more because I had back surgery 18 weeks ago and the thing was pounding.

Quoted changed for ocean:

Better to be on shore wishing you were on the ocean than be on the ocean wishing you were on shore.

Newport to narrow river south of beaver tail in 3-5s in an eighteen foot MFG with a friend of mine who didn't know the pointy end from the blunt end of a boat. He ran it so hard my elbows hurt from bracing. Ignored my suggestion to slow a bit until I noticed he had cracked the transom. I was super busy every time he called to go out after that.

13 Whaler from Green Turtle to Treasure with my wife. I was having a grand old time, but the 3-5's had her nerved up! Had to re-arrange my organs when we got there and spring for a hotel room and a ferry ticket for her. She was NOT getting on that tub under any circumstances.

Entry to the west end of the CC Canal with a 20mph afternoon SW and a westward current in a 21' Whaler........ for a brief moment I was wondering why we were the only boat in sight....ohmy.png I kissed the ground upon arrival at Taylor Point Marina.1946_headbanging.gif
