I'm on a Boat (No, really)

Maybe you have one of these:
Or one of these:
Or something much cooler:
But all that matters is you have a boat and boating is awesome. While I would love to buy a nice little canoe for weekend adventures, living on the third floor in an apartment in Boston leaves me with no room to store a canoe. Luckily, I have options for boating memberships where I can have access to row boats, canoes, kayaks, sail boats and more.
In Boston we have Community Boating: a kickass nonprofit that lets children in Boston gain membership for $1 and includes lessons. For $249 an adult can get a one year membership (including lessons) and know that they are helping support this awesome organization. If $249 is too rich for your blood there are quite a few for-profit companies with membership as low as $139.
So while I am confined to boating between the hours of 9 and 5 on the Charles River in a canoe some kid has likely puked in, some of you are on the water in infinitely cooler places with way better equipment. Let me live vicariously through you.

Seriously though, my dad was a sailor (9 years in the Coast Guard) and I get sea sick. I'm such a disappointment. Airplanes no problem...roller coasters no issue...driving no sweat...I get near a boat with like 1 foot waves and I'm tossing salad like a rabbit in prison.

C'mon warmer weather, I'm ready to race
This sounds great! Let's do this. Let's leave it all behind and get a nice boat.
Kantankeris and Langly can swab the deck!
yesss! aw, how fun would that be? we would cook yummy things and have wonderful adventures.
Also kayaking is nice, but canoeing sucks ass.
It would be super fun.
I love canoeing on lakes and rivers. It's relaxing and it's easy to bring a younger sibling/cousin along for the ride. It'd be a pain to bring them in a kayak.
When I was younger I got to go rafting and that was really cool. I always see the pictures of people doing it in the Grand Canyon and I wonder if it's as fun as it looks.
I just hate canoeing because of 2 very bad experiences. One where some idiot had the canoe tipped over because he was stupid enough to stand, and another where nobody knew how to steer or row properly, so we got lost and took hours to get back to our original location.
*slow clap*
This did not get the attention it deserved
makes sense seeing as he lives basically on the beach, though I sure as hell don't want any part of that wet mess for as long as I can help it

Yeah, having it be your job makes it much harder to enjoy the cruising attitude

We're both going to cry like mad when it pulls out of the driveway.
Yes but now I'm married and can never do so.

Nice part is that my old man has no idea I'm coming home.
He has even less of an idea that I'm bringing him a $140 bottle of irish whiskey.
Aww. Yeah.
More boating for the rest of us then.
it was hella awesome, we caught tuna and wahoo and mahi-mahi and it was fun
but i threw up every single day even with some motion sickness meds
