Is your boat where you left it?
Has it been stolen?
Has it sunk or burned at the dock?
Has the shrink wrap been damaged and birds and rodents are nesting in
the boat?
IT'S TIME TO CHECK YOUR BOAT!!!!

Report back with status if there's a problem, or if you prevented a
problem from happening BECAUSE YOU CHECKED YOUR BOAT.

Not trying to be an alarmist here.
Just saying CHECK YOUR BOAT!!

Damn, glad I don't have a boat and have to worry about that crap.

Oh, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
And MERRY WHATEVER!!! to the heathens.
Don't want to discriminate.

I have to better tie down my tarps. It's been quite windy lately.

If it wasn't a rowboat, I would suggest a proper cover.

Row this, coverboy.
There are no oarlocks on my boat....... got it?


Here, Don. Give this URL to your wife. Oarlocks aren't very expensive.

You might need these also:

Hell, a rowboat without oarlocks wouldn't be much fun.

They can be easily replaced. The holes are still there. Install them
and get your lazy son (your words) to row you around the bay.

First of all Ditzy...I never said my son was lazy..that was one of the Dope
Army irregulars talking out of their ass.
Second.. you can't *replace* something that was never there
I don't know about the bays in your cracker, hillbilly heaven but ours are a
bit big to row around unless you have plently of time to spare.

Canoe is in the garage where I left it, thanks. And most heathens I know
recognize the solstice as a day of some significance - but your wishes are
most welcome, and to you, may deep and abiding joy come to you this season,
to spring forth unbidden in times of melancholy and trial.

That's great news, and I'm glad this boat check is bringing comfort to
some.

Thank you. That's a very nice felicitation.
Since I don't yet have a boat, I'll just ignore the "in times of
melancholy and trial" and do a full stop after unbidden.

My boat says thanks for the reminder. It's still sitting there in the
water, lines are secure, and it fired right up after a couple of pumps
on the bulb and a little choking.

It was in the 70's here this week and I would have loved to go out,
but I had to work. Now it's going to cool off tonight and tomorrow
back to a more seasonable temp, and I'm off all next week. Figures.

Love hearing from the Florida guys.
I rub it in my wife's nose every time.
She's bitching about the snow, but still hasn't agreed to move to
Florida, or somewhere close.
I'll break her yet.

I'm not in Florida, I'm in South Carolina. We still have seasons, but
the winters are mild. Not a bad place to live at all. Did I say the
winters are mild? :-

On second thought, we're kind of full. We're thinking about closing
the borders. Too mant transplants from other places. Tom is thinking
about moving here.

Was visiting my boat yesterday. Was doing fine. Skiboat next to mine, has
about 100 gallons of water pooled in the cover, which has ripped over the
ski pylon. I pulled his plug and tied it to the side of the boat, and
contacted the storage office to call the guy and tell him the seams on his
cover are tearing from all the water he is storing.

Couple months ago I was with a buddy checking out his sail boat on
Kentucky Lake. He noticed a powerboat low at the transom and got
the marina staff on it with a sub pump. We helped a bit. Probably a
foot of water in the thing. Don't know what kind of boat, except it
wasn't my type. Twin 350 inboards.
He told me later it turned out the packing gland was leaking and the
battery charger was turned off.
It's good to have some traffic at the docks.
