This is very informative. I did not even realize wifey would have tasks. The one thing about my GF is that she can barely sit still. We have her do lots of spin class. But, I am not sure she will be jazzed by boat life. Me, I could drop anchor, put on shades, lie out or read and be happy as a clam.

My mom could back a trailer better than my dad and my dad was the one who taught her lol straight shot down the ramp at 10mph every time almost every time we loaded or launched someone came over to give her props

Toe**

no pro move is paying attention to the wind as you approach the dock.

Who cares

@@eldorado1244 grow up 🤡

Omg! Who cares

@@quasarcom5041 Well, I guess when it happens to someone you care for, then say the same thing...

I have no clue what that girl was doing sitting on the dock like that

Seriously, maybe you’re waiting for a friend to pick you up, but how about stay out of the way.

My boat has a small outboard with no reverse and no neutral (small sailboat) and this is how we have to approach docks. Can be pretty tricky in places with small or busy courtesy docks as you have to commit to docking and hope nobody gets in your way, because bailing on an approach is almost impossible once committed.

@@gregmanning8967 I have one of those, a 2HP. The 'reverse' with those motors is to spin them 180 degrees. It's not as easy as shifting, but it works. It can work better than a traditional outboard because it offers more maneuverability, but the learning curve is sharper.

Cap was wondering the same thing at 3:49.

Reading boating safety regs

Lmao. If you think he was even there when this video was filmed, much less actually had stingrays around his feet, I don’t even know what to tell ya

@@bobbenson4831 hey hey hey everything on the internet is true

The 5th Amendment (not ammendment) of the US Constitution (mainly) applies to court proceedings (edit: the pre-charges questioning, "Miranda", and such is a small portion). The 4th applies to "unreasonable" searchs, etc. A request by an LEO or US Coast Guard personnel for you to present your required boating safety equipment is not a search. Furthermore, when you are operating your vehicle, an officer may detain and cite you for missing, inoperative, or improper safety equipment, or the failure to use (wear seat belts) safety equipment. Again, not a search. The FWC officer in the video was properly and legally checking for fishing regulations compliance, not searching.

@Eddievoneddie13 Wrong. The 5th Amendment applies any time you are being questioned by government representatives. It is not just in court. In fact, court is the only place they can compel a witness to testify, but only if they are protected from self incrimination. When driving a car, police can only cite someone for safety violations that can be seen without a search. They can't open your hood and check your brake fluid. I don't know how looking inside hatches and in coolers on a boat would not be considered a search. As typical, law enforcement operates under the assumption that they can do whatever they want until a court tells them otherwise despite the clarity of the constitution.

@@michaellowe3665 You are obviously unfamiliar with the powers granted to game wardens and wildlife enforcement officers in most states. In most states, they can freely access private land and conduct specific searches of vehicles/vessels during the enforcement of fishing and hunting regulations. Also, the 5th Amendment doesn't apply in the situation that you squalked about in the video.

@Eddievoneddie13 No law enforcement can be granted powers specifically denied them in the constitution. The reason they may continue to get away with it is that they have not been thoroughly challenged. It takes large sums of money to fight a case all the way to the Supreme Court. At any point where a law enforcement agency is about to lose in court, they drop the charges. This is how the ATF continues to exist.

@@michaellowe3665 Excerpt from case law summary: "A 2012 California Supreme Court case found that even when a game warden lacks reasonable suspicion that a person has violated an applicable fish or game statute or regulation, they may still stop the suspect's vehicle and demand the suspect display any fish or game in the suspect's possession. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the California Supreme Court’s 2011 People v. Maikhio warrantless search ruling. The California Supreme Court ruled that a game warden who reasonably believes that a person has recently been fishing or hunting, but lacks reasonable suspicion that the person has violated an applicable fish or game statute or regulation, may stop the suspect's vehicle to demand the person display all fish or game the person has caught or taken. In ruling against Maikhio, Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye noted that hunters and anglers engage in highly-regulated sports, so they have a diminished expectation of privacy. The court reasoned that the "intrusion upon privacy engendered by a game warden's stop of an angler or hunter to demand the display of his or her catch or take is relatively minor," and furthers the state's interest in conservation." Also, look up "open fields doctrine".

You can't judge all Americans by one city, or even most boaters by this group. These are mostly folks who spend a lot of money to escape from the city on the weekend, and the water is right there. It's appalling to watch, but so are city drivers. We get tons of American boats in Canada, both trailered in and cruised up, and they generally aren't known for being any less competent than us locals. Not that Canadians don't do dumb stuff, but we need training and licenses at least.

Since you started watching and commenting on said videos 😂😉😗

Cry about it more, it's really fun to read. 😉

Interesting comment . Might have to try that
