Docks and people who store their boats on them are a definite
threat.


Amen to that, bro. Get anywhere near us and you'll get drunk just from
being in the same atmosphere. Dangerous.

Take the Bahamas, for example. The docks draw thieves like
a rotting carcass draws vultures. These thieves eventually
look at anchored boats and attempt to rob them as well.


Doubtful. After stealing all our rum, they'd be too drunk to make that leap
of illogic.


Docks cause a massive outflow of raw sewage because we
all know people on docks just flush their crap overboard.


Sorry, gotta be serious on this one. Not in the Great Lakes. Verboten,
strictly. In fact if you have a Y-valve that isn't wired in the holding
tank position and sealed with a USCG-accepted method, you can be charged,
fined, and your boat confiscated. Our waters are so clean you can see all
the goose feces resting on the bottom.

Docks are a haven for rats, seagulls, stray dogs and
people with criminal backgrounds who want to evade
the law.


Yup. That would be us, fer sure.

Docks are a hurricane hazard because they often break
up and loose and drift down on anchored boats causing
them to be damaged when they otherwise would have been
quite safe.


One can only hope.


Docks are an oily place with people pumping bilge water
and polluting the entire area around the docks.


That's not bilge water--that's vomit. But the alcohol content of the vomit
renders it essentially bacteria-free.

Docks are noisy and uncivilized.


Why do you think we rent slips there? Duh.

Need I continue.


No, you can die tomorrow, if that's what floats your boat. Or is that what
you meant? Oops, sorry.
