Stupid Human Boating Tricks

A guy told me that when he was used boat shopping, and out on a test cruise, he asked the seller about flushing the motor after use. He said, "I never do that; I like to keep the salt water in there so it won't freeze."

Hmmmmm, sounds like a plan to get a new boat every few years. "Honey, the engine will cost about $5000 to repair . . . we can replace it for just a little more!"

Red Sky at Night with JB Cornwell | "Skin diving" in the Pacific

It was here that we had one of my most memorable underwater adventures. Dick and I and one of our buddies were exploring caves on the wall for lobsters when there was a darkening . . . not really a shadow, just a drop in the light level. I turned to the opening and saw a great expanse of grey sliding silently by. We all rushed (well, as close as one can get to rushing when under about 75' of water) to the opening and beheld a grey whale about 50' long and her calf, about 20' slowly cruising to the surface to breathe. We had seen them surface once in a while from the hill but never before when in the water.
