Uncle Dick had a house on a lake, because he had a boat, he had a boat because his mother's neighbor won it on a television game show, she didn't know what to do with it, so he bought it. Hence boats were a part of my childhood. That and this photo of the marina guy, inspire this week's Sunday five.

ReplyDeleteHave you ever owned a boat? No
Do you feel comfortable on boats? Yes.
Do you prefer sail, row, or powerboat? I enjoy all three. And jet skis.
Do you feel comfortable swimming? This is the crazy part. I don't swim that good...yet not afraid of the water.
Would you let him untie your boat? Him? I thought that was a she, but needed a leg shave?!?
I will have to find more photos of marina dude, young and hairy,
Delete1. No boat ever.
ReplyDelete2. Yes. I've never had a reason to not.
3. Row is fine if someone else is rowing. Probably a power boat would suit me better.
4. Yes, not too far though.
5. Yes, he could untie my boat, as long as he jumped on board once untied.
He went sailing with them

I'd love to hear stories about the ampha car. There was one on the lake that Dick had his boat.

ReplyDelete2: Do you feel comfortable on boats? I do, but now your question has me wondering ...
3: Do you prefer sail, row, or powerboat? Not row; anything but row.
4: Do you feel comfortable swimming? I love to swim.
5: Would you let him untie your boat? Is that a euphemism? Does my "boat" need to be "untied"?
On #5, let your imagination run wild.
Delete1. Never have. Doubtful I ever will - or want to.
ReplyDelete2. I guess. It might depend on the size of the craft.
3. I have no preference one way or the other.
4. Yes. Not for miles, should the boat in question sink.
5. You're going to have to be more Pacific.
So close to the lake,
