Re: Are You Changing Your Boating Habits?
Political flags on the water take a little of the fun away for me. There's enough of that on land. Too much on this forum but where else can you can you follow the well written chronicles of a redneck delivery captain that prefers driving on one engine and sawing stuff off the top of his customers boat.
I enjoy waiving at every boater thinking they love being out on the water as much as me and that everyone underway is in it together against the weather and the sea. We will all likely be rescued someday and I hope we all take every chance to help someone out. That's the fantasy that wraps my boating passion.
Movies enjoy presenting the moral decision faced when a warrior finds an injured enemy and must decide to save or kill. Picture yourself on a broken boat flying your confederate or political flag needing assistance with no one around. A boat arrives to help you and its full of "them" that your flag doesn't like.
Anybody remember the last scene in Saving Private Ryan?
On the water the "them" should be the weather and the sea. They will kill US if we do not respect them. We need as many of us as possible just to survive so we can tow each other home.
After the tow we can drinks some beer and tell each other why drinking bleach is a good idea or not or proper etiquette around naked interns.

Re: Are You Changing Your Boating Habits?
My comment had nothing to do with CHINA-19. Having to be concerned with what flag you're flying is part of the problem I'm addressing. I may laugh at your Biden flag, but you won't have to worry about me attacking you for flying it. Funny how only one party is noted for inciting violence over such things, and they're the ones who claim to be tolerant. Sorry (not really) if that's too political for anyone, but it's just a statement of fact. Feel free to prove me wrong.
Every time I turn on my TV, it's like a really bad, reality TV show that's on every channel. Now we're talking about taking down statues of Jesus as they too are deemed racist. Ever listen to, "Mad Max", on the John Boy and Billy Big Show on the radio?
"My big old butt!!"
If you think your boating can't/won't be affected by this stupidity, just wait for it. Your white hulled Hatteras is next. After all, yachts are a symbol of income inequality if not flat out racism. Slaves were brought to this country by boat.
Question is, how much longer are we going to let this small percentage of malcontents change the landscape and the American way of life to fit their own personal agendas?
I'm a peace loving kind of guy (really, I am!), but I've about had my fill of this nonsense.Randy Register - Kingston, TN
