Went to visit my mom and stepdad a while back and my stepdad has a bandage above his eye. Come to find out he took my bil fishing who doesn't fish at all. They were in the lake on a school of reds and my stepdad was running the trolling motor while my bil was in the back. Well my bil casts a jighead and hits my stepdad in tbd head. After that we bring football helmits when bil tags along

I heard a story about one of my cousins the other day that still makes me laugh. His dad was launching his bay boat and my 30 something year old cousing was holding the rope on the dock. Boat slid off with some speed and my uncle pulled up to go park. My cousing saw that if he held on, the boat would turn and hit another boat so he let go. He had to jump in and swim to the boat on the other side of the bayou, but he didn't have keys. He had to swim with the rope in his hand to get the boat back to the dock. He's already back at the dock by the time my uncle got back and my uncle had no clue what had happened. He was basically staring at him like why the f*** are you soaking wet?

I lived on the east coast for a few summers and we stayed in a house right by a 80 ft long lock system connected to a yacht harbor. The lock was staffed from 6 am - 7 pm, but if you had a boat in there you could be trained to lock yourself in and out and get a key.

Most afternoons at like 4-5 there would be quite a few 30-45-60-75 ft boats heading out to cruise up and down the intracoastal. Come 645 most of the boats that went out would be lined up waiting to lock in.

Several boats however always just stayed out there cruising back and forth right outside the lock, waiting for the staff to head home. All of those guys were usually way too drunk to operate the boat safely and did not want to be seen drunk.

It was always a spectacle watching the 75 ft motor yacht trying to get in. You always heard crunching fiberglass, big bangs, popping fenders.

It was just great to sit there on the porch and watch some hoighty-toighty a-hole try and get it done. The wife was always running around trying to get the fenders out.
