How does the water get upstream?

While explaining how my chartplotter worked and showing the zoom function, one of the guests asked if by zooming more on the little boat icon we would be able to see ourselves in it....

What? You can't on your boat?

I don't need a chartplotter for that... I can just google earth and zoom down to see my boat... :grin::smt043
 
My favorite niece had these two:

Getting in the tube, she asks, "Uncle John, did you check this for spiders?"
Me, "Yes, there are definitely some in there."

Her, "Uncle John, are there alligators in the lake?"
Me, "Don't worry, the sharks ate them all."
 
After spending a whole day on the boat, "Can I give you some gas money?" And then handing forward a $20.

After reprimanding the guest for boarding a dock neighbor's motoryacht: You can't just walk onto someone's boat to "look around." and the stupid question, "Why not."

"Did you have to negotiate (with the dealer)."

While towing the boat last summer on a long trip with another family (he was towing his camper), we stopped about 2 and a half hours into the trip to get gas. I figured this was a good time to gas the boat as well as the truck as we would be spending a week on the island where gas is more expensive. I pulled in as to fill both at the same time. My friends 16 year old daughter asked if the boat used more or less gas on the highway than the truck. I looked puzzled and she explained herself a little more. She thought the boat was using gas on the highway as we drove just like the truck.

I'll bet she had blonde hair :smt001
 
My friend has a Carver 396 Motoryacht and his brother -in - law - said let me fill up your boat. So, he played it up and said - Thanks - Nobody has ever offered that before. That is so nice. The Guy didn't even see in the "4" in $475 and was gasping at the $75 for the gas pump. Then he said thanks for offering - I just wanted to see your face when it hit the total.

The one thing I love is when the A/C is running - "Did you know your boat is sinking"
 
Never underestimate the power of dumb people in large numbers.
 
Asked by My wife a couple of weeks ago. Keep in mind we are at a marina with no fresh water available so i had told her to conserve water on the boat...

"How am i going to take a shower if the air conditioner is spitting all of the water out of the side of the boat?"

I didn't know whether to cry or laugh...
 
My Grandpa asks my brother if he noticed that oil was leaking from the bottom of his car. Brother says "yea, I know" kind of blowing him off.

Grandpa says..."well how do you know if you have any left in the oil pan"

Brother says with a serious face..."because it's still leaking"

Needless to say, he's not a boater. I laughed until I cried.
 
I was asked if I could make the boat stop rocking...as if I had some mysterious control over the ocean and/or physics.
 
Kinda related..

I may have already told this story too.
A few years ago I was in Bedwell Harbour in Canada at a Marina called Poet's cove. The Mrs. and kids were up at the pool and I had a cold one in hand walking the docks. I came upon a nice 40+ sedan bridge with a Guy sitting on the aft deck with his feet kicked up and a drink in his hand.

I said: "How's it going?" as I looked and read the name of his boat Therapist
He replied: "It doesn't get any better than this"
I volleyed back "Nope it's nice, you can't beat it" then glancing at his transom again I said "The rapist huh?"
He answered "What do you mean?'
I said "the name of your boat...why 'The Rapist' " fully knowing what it said.

He said "No it says "Therapist"

I said "look at it"
He came off the boat and looked with me, then yelled at his wife: "Honey, come here real quick"

I said "you guys have a nice day, that's a beautiful boat"

The next morning the I walked by I felt bad because the vinyl name was removed.
 
I think it's funnier the way it turned out.
 
Therapists don't have a sense of humor. Rapists don't either.
