Giles and Paula's Great Retirement Adventure

[Dmart]

Wow, what a nice „little boat“.

[Giles]

Shit…....

That's a lot of rudder work.  Do you not have a steering wheel knob?

Yes, a GOOD ART HLYWD one, but the steering wheel is mounted vertically, and the bottom is too far to get to without ducking down. Which rather defeats the purpose 

[goosehd]

So that's where you put it…That has to be the coolest wheel knob (or shifter knob) ever created!

I dropped a fender into the water, I was holding the rope. We were doing about 6 knots, the fender submarined, and your hero tried to hold on.. salutary lesson, no one was watching, and there by the grace of God, I did not end up in the water. Would have tested the AIS beacon on my life jacket, and @Madame Buttonfly would have been able to tick off the MOB part of her course

@Matt:

I should probably start apologizing ahead of time.

To late now honour your words now 

I meant to my wife.

@Giles You're assuming she would stop….

[Giles]

Well, there is that 

But, I think it would be a very bad mark for Ben, the instructor, if he lost a client….
