Nautical Humor Jokes While sports fishing off the Florida coast, a tourist capsized his boat. He could swim, but his fear of alligators kept him clinging to the overturned craft. Spotting and old beachcomber standing on the shore, the tourist shouted, "Are there any gators around here?!" The man hollered back ...
Stupid Human Boating Tricks Behind the gate on the rear of the pontoon there is minimal room. I was standing on one side lapping the rope around the flywheel and getting ready to give it a good pull when I noticed the guy sitting on the gas tank with a cigarette dangling from his mouth ...

From NBOA | Keep Your Cool – Summer Boating Safety Tips from NBOA
Sponsored Content | NBOA Marine Insurance
Nothing evokes the carefree, easy-going lifestyle of summertime quite like spending a day on the boat. Whether you’re chugging along the coastline with the family, raking in baitfish at the crack of dawn, or speeding along in a motorboat, the wind in your hair and the cool spray of water on your face, boating is best enjoyed hot! Millions of Americans enjoy boating each year. Although we all want to stay safe, accidents do happen. According to the U.S. Coast Guard, over 5,000 motorboat accidents occurred in the U.S. in 2008 - 685 of them were fatal. Sadly, most of those accidents could have been prevented.

Red Sky at Night with JB Cornwell | The Search for the World’s Finest Fishing Hole
"My" pond was (and is) a small one; spring fed and gin clear. No more than 5 acres. In 1943 it had largemouth bass, bluegill, rock bass (we called them goggle eye), chain pickerel (jack), pumpkinseed sunfish (sunnies), brown bullhead and some forage species. It was isolated in the longleaf pine woods of the North Carolina Sandhills, so it was normally all mine and any companions I had with me. My half brother was a usual companion in those early years. We fished that pond with a willow pole and a fly rod. For a while we had a boat; a plank-built jon that leaked almost as fast as we could bail. From the boat I could cast a popping bug into the lilypads where the big bluegills and the bass lurked. In my memories it was the finest fishing hole for me at that time. I fished there regularly for about 10 years. Today it is a water hazard on a golf course. (sigh) Read more as JB’s search continues ...
