Default Why I have a boat

We were out this evening and it was a perfect day on the water. There
were lines of showers south of us and north of us but we were right in
the slot and it was beautiful, high 70s and sunny.
The clouds were really cool, sort of a Rorschach test everywhere you
looked with interesting shapes that you could try to make into things.

I do still have one gripe that I call the "courtesy slowdown"
We go pretty slow and boats come up behind us a lot. I pull to the
right side of the channel, wave them on and the competent operators
maintain course and speed. The assholes I hate are the ones who think
they are being nice by putting it in the worst possible plow and going
by me "slowly". As soon as they get past, they crank it back up. WTF !

The other jerks are the ones on jet skis who still want to pass me on
the right, even though I am already as far right as I think is OK
I do get a chuckle when they hit something but they act like it must
be my fault somehow.
