stupid boating mistake

[007Rusty]

In plymouth mass. at the boat ramp people set up chairs to watch the clowns try to back there boats down the ramp its too funny. I wish thay had some sort of rule that you had to take a test to drive your boat,there are clowns out there who dont have a clue.

Probably the  most common boating mistake.  I've seen so many people do this that I've learned to put the plug in BEFORE I leave the house.

The second most common mistake I've seen out in these parts is watching folks attempt to back their trailers up in a straight line while launching.  Sometimes its comical.

In Ontario you have to take a boating coarse, and pass, to operate a boat.

Though I have not taken a safety course I do think it is a good idea. I know in many states it is required to take one to operate a boat.

I don't think it is anymore "nannyism" than requiring a drivers license to operate a motor vehicle.
