  • So many surprises with a boat… I learned how to drive, launch, & dock on an outboard piss yellow Grady White. Switched to inboard/outboard & relearn it all; it was a completely different steering experience.

    We also watched some idiots blow up their boat because they didn’t maintain it. Fuel leaked, fumes built in the engine cavity, & when the driver went to crank it…. kaboom.

    Luckily the boat was already in the water, drifting back away from the dock, & the driver hadn’t let passengers onboard yet.

    To my knowledge, driver survived, but was badly injured.

    Not sharing this to scare off OP, boats are awesome when you know what you’re doing.
















  • And if it’s nature that catches your interest, in addition to walking, you could follow a live stream of some animal you may or may not care about.

    I got into watching an Osprey hatch her eggs on a stream. Didn’t even know about the birds until I started, but the hook set quickly.

    Watched that feed for weeks, checking to see who’s been eating, who’s been pooping, & who’s still sleeping. Pretty satisfying by the time the chicks left the nest.
