I'M ON A BOAT

[Pike]

Have you been on a boat? Once? Sometimes? Many times? What sort of boat?

I've been on the ferry boats in Washington a few times :jess:

I actually don't care for the open water.

I'm with Boobs on this one, even though I've been on several boats. My grandparents own a boat but I got the recessive water-hating genes.

[Faris]

I love being on boats but I refuse to go in the water.

I've been on many boats. Several sail boats, including a 60 footer; a number of motor boats of varying sizes; ferries all over the country; and even an aircraft carrier for three days. Boats are fun.

While I enjoy boats, but I don't like to be on them sitting still for hours and hours, especially when not being distracted by some activity (like fishing).

A few times, I quite enjoyable for a while but then something like a desire to play video games overtakes the fun. :jess:

[Araciel]

As often as possible. my dad has a small fishing boat, I need to get a nice passenger boat, maybe an 18' bowrider... I don't like fishing but I love boating+camping trips.

[Jiro]

Been on boats heaps. Plan on going on a cruise one day soon. Doesn't phase me at all.

Been on a boat in the middle of Lake Michigan and various big rivers, but nothing as large as the ocean. I don't mind the experience, I guess. Man, this post is ****ing EXCITING!

[NorthernChaosGod]

I've been deep sea fishing before. It was okay.

I still want to throw a party on a boat and play the fucking song.

I've been on a cruise boat while on the way to the Bahamas. I was also on a ferry when I was in New York City. Both times were with my families. I also rode in one of those small boats you maneuver around with pedals. That was cool, but gets tiring. :p

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

I used to live on a boat. Legit.

I have been on many boats. Kayaks, canoes, small sailboats, big sailboats, yachts, speedboats, pontoons, Wasp Class Amphibious Assault ships. You know, boats.

I was on a ferry when I was in Disney world at age four. That's it.

Big ships freak me out.

[Alpha2099]

I have been on the Gateway Clipper many times over the years.

[Shiny]

I've been on ships and ferries, but never an actual boat which I find odd. Still if given the chance I would always choose jet sking over being on a boat.

I used to go fishing a lot when I was younger, mostly with my great uncle. I also used to live near several lakes, so we would go boating every once and awhile. I also took a tour of the USS Midway when I was in San Diego, it was pretty neat.

I did not step a single foot on a boat while in the Navy though.

I've been on boats and I hate them. The sea is not for me. I didn't get seasick or anything, I just felt a very strong anxiety about not being on dry land. But that's probably just my aquaphobia :(

Boat stories!

When I was about 12 or so, my dad and I went fishing on my uncle's fishing boat. It was decent-sized and could get upwards of 45-50 mph in the open water. As we were moving along at 15-20 mph out of the dock area, I was sitting up by the bow (front) of the boat. My uncle cautioned me that I might want to move back, but I said I was fine, and I liked the view from the bow. My uncle did not repeat the warning or explain the reason for it before he simply hit the accelerator, and the boat started speeding through the water.

Soon we hit a decent sized wave in the water which caused the front of the boat to fly into the air -- and me with it. When the boat slammed back into the water, inertia left me hanging several feet above the boat; if I had not quickly grasped the railing in my hand (and my arm was fully extended upwards), I would have almost certainly flown overboard. Then I came crashing down into the boat, slamming my back on bench.

I moved to the back of the boat.

You'll be fine, you're equipped with flotation devices.

I've been fairied... multiple times.

[Mirage]

I've been on a lot of ferries. That's what happens when you live in coastal Norway.

[Unbreakable Will]

Yes and it was a terrible experience, it was a pontoon boat. That should be sufficient explanation by itself but I suppose I should also mention that I ended up hooking my aunt with a giant catfish hook in the face and my uncle almost killed me for it.

I wanna be a shrimp boat captain.

Mama said they's my special runnin' shoes. Mama said they'd take me anywhere.
