As we recall... I piloted one from my front lawn for a while in the summer
of 03......

We used to have another poster with your problem. He solved it by
simply sitting in it, singing "YO HO HO and a bottle of Rum", while it
was permanently parked on a trailer in his driveway.

He finally sold the boat after the trailer tires went flat.

Are you from Kansas by any chance?

Luckily for you there is a difference between being in the boat and
being in the water. I dont like being in water either (I had some
special experience here) but I like being in boats. Get yourself a
good lifejackets and enjoy boating!

I have shared that experience - last time in the St. Lawrence Seaway.

It's very enjoyable.

Actually I was talking about an experience with lots of water ABOVE
your head for longer periods of time. I avoid this now and keep the
head above the water ;)

I actually do. As much as I put Skipper down

Is that why you expressed the wish that he'd get run over by a bus and killed?

You have a perverse sense of human compassion.
