Never say "After all these years it's so cool to be leaving the dock with EVERYTHING on the boat working."

Don't hoist the jolley roger while running the generator with a cigarette in your mouth while talking about guns onboard.

After reading this I checked out your profile. I noticed that you had not aquired any friends. Are you trying to keep it that way?

Re: What Should You NOT Do on a Boat ?
Never back up while taking video of friends swiming off the bow without checking if the hatches are open. It's a pride before the fall thingy I think. All I know is that it was embarassing as hell.

Re: What Should You NOT Do on a Boat ?
Nostrodamus, Let me apologise for the USA getting into world exploration a bit late.... but ....you did have a thousand years or so head start. For such a well traveled mariner I was disapointed to see such a post. "20 miles" surely you know better than that. Remember that anyone in our society can do this ... even a goat herder.

Re: What Should You NOT Do on a Boat ?
Never make a "Brag" about anything... Because when you do.... Murphy's Law goes into effect.
And as Zeehag stated: Don't piss off the owner, especially when the boat is in the middle of the Ocean. You might end up walking home...

Never build a campfire to roast marshmellows or make smores, save that for the beach!

Don't mix up the chart showing depth in fathoms with the chart showing depth in feet.
