Default Boat shoes

I was raised on Puget Sound, and with the exception of
being on a sail boat heeled over in a stiff wind, I've

being around the end of salmon season.


Good on ya. I've done most of my boating in the Chesapeake Bay. It
doesn't get nearly as rought and tumble as Puget Sound. But, I've
slipped on my boat while barefoot. That's why I went back to boat
shoes. I also want shoes on my feet when I launch or retrieve my boat.


Yeah, I guess there is a third exception, but only if the
bottom is rocky.

Maybe it's the calluses.
