You Know You're Boating in Florida When...
1. You make a quick run to Bimini just to get some Kalik beer*.
2. A 65-foot yacht is considered ho-hum (really, why even bother?)
Ya just gotta have a helicopter
3. Your hurricane plan consists of drinking yourself silly and then heading out to the Everglades to find where your boat landed.
4. No Wake Zones. #@$*&%#!!!
5. You listen to the marine forecast at work.
6. You troll around abandoned Cuban liferafts for dolphin
7. Your bait is bigger than most bass.
waterspouts - fairly common in this neck of the woods
8. You wonder where the marine patrol goes for donuts.
9. The word manatee is normally preceded by a long string of cuss words.
10. Buffett. All day, all the time.
Do you realize how hard it is to NOT make a donut joke remark this picture
11. You get up at 4-am not because it’s a good time to fish but because it’s the only time you can get a spot at the launch ramp.
12. You buy rigged ballyhoo and chum at the Winn-Dixie.
13. You buy a triple engine go-fast and never make it farther than Shooters.
14. Like Lotto when the jackpot is less than $10 million, you figure category 1 hurricanes just aren’t worth the effort.
15. You have “Captain” printed on your business card.
Land of the "go-fast"
16. You have no concept of the term “boating season” - isn’t it always boating season?
17. Homeland Security runs 39-foot, quad-engine boats based on a design originally built for drug runners.
Border Patrol slums it with twin engine rides (Homeland Security gets quads)
18. Banana hammocks, silicone flotation and gold chains.
19. You re-power your 18-foot fishing boat with a 250hp outboard and wonder if that’s enough.
20. You moon the tourists waving from the cruise ships.
It's a love-hate thing.
* Yes, yes, we know they now sell Kalik in the US. Which of course took all the fun out of it. Just like when Coors finally went on sale east of the Mississippi - where's the adventure? |
